* Swarga (Heaven) and Narak (Hell) are not simply
our mental creations. They actually exist. Just because we cannot see a thing or we cannot understand it, it does not mean that we do not recognise. its existence. We forbid a thing which is existent. The very fact that we use the word Naraka shows that Naraka exists.
* In the branch of psychology called parapsychology,
the existence of a previous life has been proved; and this means that the existence of the Atma has
been accepted. * You happily commit sins and you wish for happi
ness. You cannot get it. If you want happiness; you must discard sins. Even the divine sage, Narada was attracted towards Jeevaraj Seth by external austerities. Even the Paramatma cannot lead towards salvation the man who does not desire
salvation. axaxaaaaaaaaaaaa

धर्म एवापवर्गस्य पारम्पर्येण साधकः ॥ Acharyashri Haribhadrasuriji wrote the great work, Dharmabindu and Acharyashri Munichandrasuriji wrote a commentary on the grantha. These two were great Acharyas of the Jain Dharma and they were great and erudite scholars and Acharyas of the Jain philosophy.
The author instead of describing the nature of Dharma and giving a definition of it, first describes the efficacy of Dharma
