Jiva and Ajiva-According to Jainism Jiva means soul, Ajiva means non-soul. In Buddhism Jiva means living principle (life, prán). Ajiva means lifeless thing. According to Jainism Jiva and Ajiva are in combination and the link between them is that of karma. (of Outlines of Jainsim by Mr. Jagmanderlal Jaini)
Soul-In Jainism it is affected by attachment, aversion, affection, infatuation, in the form of the four passions helped by the activity of body, mind and speech. This activity is known as Yoga There are two kinds of Asrava Bnavasrava and Dravyasrava. Bhavasrava means the condition of the soul which makes Asrava possible and Dravyasrava means the actual matter attracted by the soul It is what the Jains call objective Asrava.
