Effect cannot be without cause ...
The devoted pursuit of the three gems makes the jiva realise the divergence due to affected disposition and helps attain the uni-form by bringing it out of the multi-form. The original form of the jiva is one and undivided yet there appears a great diversity among the infinite living beings in this world.
In the human form, in spite of all humans being similar, with the same body-frame, not one human is found identical to another. Occasionally, if there does appear a similarity between two humans, it would be one in crores. Perhaps twins would look similar. Yet if observed closely there would be some differences. Hands, legs, eyes, ears, nose and mouth may all be in their place and proportionate, yet there would be a difference in their appearance. In the same way, considering the body, this difference is found among birds and animals too. Such diversity is noticed in the world considering the body.
From the view of the mind too, there appears a great diversity among jivas with minds. They all may have found a similar appearing mind made of inanimate pudgals, but every mind has a different working pattern. Some person may be deeply affected by a small event. The mind may get upset. Why! It would even invite serious illness as a result. While many people have such minds that the most sorrowful situation cannot disturb them.
From another viewpoint, the state of the mind is different among everybody. Tastes and preferences also differ. One person may find a certain thing or certain person very likeable while another might dislike the same thing or the same person most. Such feelings of likes or dislikes are present in each mind in a variety.
