Similarly Jinavani is also a mother to all of us. And she keeps on telling us that since times immortal Jeev has been committing Asrava, Bandha but ultimately it is Heya Tattva. So you leave them behind i.e. renounce them and take resort into your own Tattva or Swa Jeev Tattva. And then only you will attain Samvar, Nirjara and ultimately Bliss in the form of Moksha. While having Samvar and Nirjara initially you will have Asrava, Bandha for some time. But slowly and gradually by passage of time in the end there will be total absence of them and the ultimate state of Moksha, which full of infinite Bliss, will evolve. Further discussions will follow in the next letter.
With love.

Importance of Shastrabhyas.
See the importance of Shastrabhyas i.e. study of Jain Sat Shastras which leads to Atmanubhav and ultimately attainment of Moksha. Though it will take some time, we get so many immediate gains while we
are studying them. Those are — (1) Krodh, Maan etc. Kashayas get diminished. (2) Our mind is not diverted towards the objects of five
sensory organs. (3) Unsteady mind also becomes steady and concentrates in
the study. (4) We escape from committing Paap. (5) Even with our limited knowledge we can know all living
and nonliving things in this cosmos. (6) We acquire knowledge of Heya and Upadeya Tattva. (7) Dnyanopayog turns to one's own self. (8) As one gets more knowledge he is more happy. (9) One becomes successful and famous. (10) One acquires Satishaya Punya.
