GUIDELINES TO MAHAVIR-DARSHAN
(b) Trasa, literally meaning mobile : Who may have two senses, three senses, four senses and five senses without or with the mind. (1) Bound Soul :
In the impure state, its nine properties are as follows : (i) It lived, lives and shall live. (ii) It has perception and knowledge. (iii) It is non material, i. e., it has no touch, taste, smell or
colour. (iv) It is responsible for its own actions. (v) It completely fills the body it occupies e. g. of an ant or
elephant. (vi) It enjoys fruits of its Karmas. (vii) It wanders in Sansara. (viii) It has capacity to become siddha (liberated soul).
(ix) It goes upward. (2) The Siddha :
The liberated souls if they have body they are called Arhats and when they shake off the mor al coil they are known as Siddi completely liberated souls, who stay at the top of the universe and have full development of all the qualities of the soul because they have got rid of all the Karmas.
2. Ajiva or Non-Soul
These are five in number and they have no property of consciousness. They are :
(a) Matter or pudgala (b) Space or Akasa (c) Principle of motion (Dharma ) (d) Principle of Stationariness ( Adharma ) (e) Time-Kala.
From the spiritual Sadhana point of view, only the first one is important; hence we shall consider it here in some details.
