________________ 149) ntah ANN ATMA-SIDDHI WASSA IIT The Thesis in Brief Self-realisation implies that there is a SELF which is unrealised and which can and ought to be realised. The SELF is the soul, the everlasting ego. Its being unrealised means that it is hampered and deluded by the Karmas which it does and the fruits of which it experiences. The doing is by choice; the experiencing is by compulsion. The realisation of the Soul is Liberation. It is possible There are means of it, and it is a duty to try to realise it. Thus we get the following 6 propositions:-- 1. The Soul is. 2. The Soul is eternal. 3. The Soul is the doer of Actions. 4. The Soul enjoys the fruit of Karmas. 5. There is liberation. 6. There is means of liberation. Now we proceed to consider the propositions one by one. M AX WALLO Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.orgPage Navigation
