गये तोल में कुछ भी अन्तर यानी हल्का-भारीपन नहीं होता है। इसीलिए तुम यह श्रद्धा करो कि जीव अन्य है और शरीर अन्य है, किन्तु जीव और शरीर एक नहीं हैं।" EXAMPLE OF A LEATHER WATER-BAG WITH AIR
257. Then, Keshi Kumar Shraman further illustrating his view point said,
"Pradeshi ! Have you ever filled a leather water-bag with air or got it filled ?" ____Pradeshi replied—“Yes Sir ! I have filled it and also got it filled."
Keshi Kumar Shraman then said—“O Pradeshi ! When you weighed the water-bag filled with air and later weighed it after all the air was removed, did the weight increase or reduce; did it appear heavier or lighter ?”
Pradeshi replied—“Sir ! It is no so. In other words, neither there was change in weight nor it became lighter or heavier.”
Keshi Kumar Shraman then said—“O Pradeshi ! Same is the nature of soul, its aguru-laghutva-its very nature of not being heavy nor being light. As such there was no change in weight of the thief in two states-namely living state and dead state. So you should believe that soul and body are different entities. They are not the same.”
