Elaboration-Jayanti shramanopasika asked three questions to Bhagavan Mahavir about bhavasiddhik (destined to gain liberation) souls. Answering them Bhagavan said—the souls that are destined to gain liberation or have the ability to be perfect are called bhavasiddhik. All such souls are certain to attain liberation one day. That is why
their condition of being destined to gain liberation is natural and not E consequential. It is not that they were earlier abhavasiddhik (not is 4 destined to gain liberation) and became bhavasiddhik due to modal
change. As the attribute of form is natural in matter, in the same way the condition of being destined to liberation is natural in bhavasiddhik (destined to gain liberation) souls.
The next question Jayanti asked was—if all souls destined to gain si liberation will gain liberation then will the universe (Lok) be devoid of bhavasiddhik souls ? Answering this question Bhagavan said-every future moment is sure to become present with passage of time. Can 4 there be a time when the universe is devoid of future moment ? That is an impossibility and so is extinction of bhavasiddhik (destined to gain liberation) souls.
Another example is a row of space-points in whole space is endless 41 and infinite. If a portion of the size of an ultimate particle is removed s every Samaya, even after the passage of infinite progressive and
regressive cycles of time the row will still not be extinct. In the same way even when all souls destined to gain liberation will gain liberation, the universe will still not be devoid of bhavasiddhik souls.
