not available for Jains in our present time cycle. According to Jaina cosmology/cosmography, mokșa will not be available until we leave this predominantly “bad cycle of time and enter a predominantly 'good' cycle of time, which could conceivably be 80,000 years or more. Given this consideration, all
Jains are in a sense abhavya in that mokṣa is not currently available. 56. Alfred North Whitehead, Science and the Modern World (SMW)
