JAIN JOURNAL: Vol-XXXV, No. 1 July 2000 invitation to everyone to participate in the exercise of their own cause of liberation. His approach to spiritual sustenance, which he crucially constructs extended metaphor to expresses the essence of his exposition, is aimed to revitalize and sharpen the perception of human environment. His approach to reality is to realize the path to the great mystery and not treating the world as illusion, but which consists of "reals,” the constituents in the Jaina universe.
What distinguishes Ācārya Kundakunda from others is that he asks many questions and ponders on the beholden challenges with humility. In the truest sense, his works have pulse in them even though they are placed to a period of two thousand years before. They have become unforgotten riches and living as ever in understanding life, soul and its journey.
