Bhagavai 6:3:30-33
number of souls in the world. If their number is limited then some day all of them will attain liberation. In that condition the liberated souls would have to be reborn or the world will become absolutely empty of souls. The statement that the liberated souls persist for ever (i.e., they are without end) implies that once the soul is liberated, it is never reborn in the world.
[3] In the bhavasiddhika souls, the potentiality of bhavyatva exists, which is without beginning. At the time of liberation that potentiality becomes defunct and hence, it comes to an end. From this standpoint, the bhavyajīva is with end." Only the bhavya soul can attain liberation but all bhavya souls do not attain liberation; only those bhavya souls are liberated whose temporal potentiality gets matured. So, Lord Mahāvīra explained to Jayants that this world will never be empty of bhavya souls.
[4] The abhavya souls are not capable of attaining liberation, so they are without beginning and without end with reference to their existence in the mundane statc--the cycles of births and deaths in this world.
