itself may be representing a great constellation something many times bigger and vaster-yet unknown to the present day world. Modern scientists have begun to conceive or propound some such idea of an endless universe.
So from this, one can conceive the mighty unlimited expanse and endless vastness of this universe and comparatively the most foolish vanity of man's own insignificant being, except for the purpose of making himself or attaining the greatest and the highest—The Supreme Pure Self, to enjoy
Eternal and unfettered bliss of Nirvana or Godhood i.e. tob ecome Param-Atma himself.
The Dharma Dravya of the Jain philosophy is something similar to the Ether of the modern science. It is one single formless substance which fills this limitless space "Akasha” to a limited expanse. This space or portion or the limitless space which is limited by the presence of the Dharma Dravya makes a definite demarcation between the space within this boundry and the rest of the Akasha beyond this boundrywhich is without this Dharma Dravya.
