Letter 14 activity of the another substance or one attribute into the activity or modification of the other attribute.
Each and every substance out of the infinite substances in this cosmos is independent. Each attribute out of the infinite attributes in each substance is independent and so out of infinite modifications of each attribute, each and every modification is independent.
So we don't have to struggle to become independent. We have to just know that we are independent. We create dependency in our imagination and become unhappy. Therefore we have to correct our belief. Once we accept and believe the state of facts as they exist, we will be happy. But if we do the worthless efforts to see that the substances should remain and stay according to our imaginary world, we are bound to be unhappy.
Many people complain that after learning this theory of independence, people will become recklessly careless in their behaviour and live life without any moral principles and restrain. But this fear is totally false and baseless. Because after knowing that I can not enter Parachatushtaya, and can not bring about any change in them, naturally one will concentrate on Swachatushtaya The Real Right Belief will believe in one's own Swa , similarly the knowledge will know the Swa or self; and conduct will be absorbed in one's own soul. And that is exactly what we are striving to achieve.
In this cosmos the infinite Jeev Dravyas, infinite infinite Pudgal Dravyas and Dharma, Adharma, Akash and Kaal Dravyas are existing without beginning or an end by Ek kshetravagah sambandha ( Tantra Hou) or occupying the same space. And yet each substance is constantly existing as it is. One Jeev Dravya does not become one with other Jeev Dravya nor does it become Pudgal Dravya. Attributes of Jeev Dravya do not enter into Pudgal Dravya, nor do those of the Pudgal Dravya enter into Jeev Dravya.
Dnyan, Darshan, Charitra, Sukh and Veerya etc. are the attributes of Jeev Dravya i.e. me; and touch, taste, smell, colour are the attributes of Pudgal. Since last fifty years I am in contact with this body. Both are existing in the same space. But despite that the body did not acquire the capacity to know anything, nor did the attributes of smell, touch, taste etc. enter into me.
While I am alive as a human being, the soul has the capacity to know and the body is Achetan area or lifeless. When a person dies we see that the body is without any knowledge. But many people are not ready to believe that even while the body is along with Jeev the body does not have knowledge. This is because they identify themselves with their body and wrongly think that the body has the capacity to know.
Because of Agurulaghutya attribute the substance retains its substantiality. We have also seen that one substance can not merge into
