I am the Soul Revered Mahasatiji always commenced the discourse with salutations to the Arhats and Siddhas and concluded with the meditation on the nature of the pure soul. These two have become an important part of the discourse and so each chapter of this work commences and concludes with the narration of the same as the aim of all spiritual practices is the realisation of the self".
I sincerely hope that this work will provide an insight into Jaina philosophy, quench the thirst for right knowledge in one and all and be instrumental in self-realisation.
