3T TRICHT - This kind of self certainly recognises that his nature is quite different from material objects including the body. This discriminative knowledge leads to the further investigation of the nature of the self. Research into nature of any reality according to Jaina Philosophy, is concentrated upon his own nature. WHICHT - The perfect'self, which state is the result of self realisation through tapas or yoga. Naturally therefore this absolute transcendental, self is quite beyond the relational aspects and represents the highest nature of reality which ought to be the goal of all. BICHT at facilir - (The soul's extension - The Ji va (soul) is coeval with the body it inhabits. Dr. verse 2. The soul is felt as I in the forms, I am happy, I am sad and I know a pot is the organism itself, not in the organisms of others, or in the intermediate space.
Prameya - P.171. The soul is coeval with the body, because its qualities are seen as pervading the body.
Nya. P. 49. The Jivas take a variable magnitude by expansion and contraction of the Pradeśas.
Tattva - 5/17. If on account of parts, the soul is held to be mortal, it is not so, because the soul does not leave its immeterial nature.
Rāja. 5/16/4. 3HAUGET - (Atma-pradesa-Pradešas in the soul) A Pradesa means that extension of space which is occupied by an atom.
Akalan ka : Rajavārtika 5/8/4
A Pradesa of Jiva means a soul unit occupying a pradeśa of space. Jiva is one substance. Tattvā 5/6 The difficulty is how a Jiva can have pradešas and be one substance at the same time. Akalan ka solves the difficulty in two ways. Firstly he holds that the soul being a partless entity, the conception of Prades as in the structure of the soul is only concessional. (Rāja. 5/8/10) Actually speaking there are no such units in the soul. But for the sake of measuring its extension they are supposed in it. Such parts in the soul's extension can be distinguished with respect to various units of dimensions like a distance which can be measured in terms of miles, furlongs yards etc. without disturbing its unity. Secondly it is also affirmed that the conception of Prade sas in the soul is not concessional i.e. such pradesas are there in the Jiva.
