## 4/Go. Sa. Jeevakash
**Solution:** Due to the principle of Dravyatmaka Nay, the soul (Jiva) exists eternally, from beginningless time to endless time, with the same nature. Therefore, auspiciousness (Mangal) also becomes beginningless and endless.
**Doubt:** Does this mean that even in the state of Mithyatva (false belief), the soul is auspicious?
**Solution:** This is not a fault, because it is desirable. Since the absence of soul-ness (Jivattva) prevents Mithyatva, Aviriti (non-restraint), and Pramada (carelessness) from becoming auspicious, the soul itself is the essence of auspiciousness. And that soul is characterized by infinite qualities like Kevalgyan (perfect knowledge) and so on.
**Doubt:** How is the auspiciousness of Kevalgyan and other qualities possible in the state of Samsara (worldly existence) where there are karmic bonds like Kevalgyan Avaran (veil of perfect knowledge) and so on?
**Solution:** If the auspiciousness of Kevalgyan and other qualities veiled by karma is not accepted, then the auspiciousness of the veiling factors like Kevalgyan Avaran and so on cannot be established.
**Doubt:** The knowledge and perception of a Chhadmastha (veiled) soul are limited, so they cannot be auspicious?
**Solution:** No, because if the limited knowledge and perception found in Tryasthas (three-fold beings) are considered auspicious, then the complete, all-encompassing knowledge and perception will also become inauspicious.
**Doubt:** The knowledge and perception of veiled souls cannot be considered as parts of the auspicious Kevalgyan and Kevaldarshan (perfect knowledge and perception)?
**Solution:** This is not correct, because there is no existence of knowledge and perception different from Kevalgyan and Kevaldarshan.
**Doubt:** Besides Kevalgyan and Kevaldarshan, there are other types of knowledge like Matigyan (intellectual knowledge) and perception like Chakshudarshan (visual perception). How are these considered auspicious?
**Solution:** The terms Matigyan and Chakshudarshan are simply names for specific states of knowledge and perception. In reality, the knowledge and perception residing in all these states are the same.
**Doubt:** If the knowledge and perception of Chhadmasthas, which are like seeds of Kevalgyan and Kevaldarshan, are considered auspicious, then even a Mithyatva-dristi (false belief) soul becomes auspicious, because those seeds are present in them too?
**Solution:** Even if a Mithyatva-dristi soul gains auspiciousness through knowledge and perception, this alone does not make Mithyatva, Aviriti, and other qualities auspicious.
