Nava Tatva-Nine elements: (Fundamental truths)
The Cosmos consists of six (1+5) basic reals (dravya). It is traced to 'Jiva' and 'Ajiva'. The two everlasting, uncreated, independent and co-existing categories, consciousness is 'Jiva (with sentient). That which has no consciousness is 'Ajiva' (non sentient).
Rare, the most precious, only from here by his endeavours can reach liberation.
The final aim.
The Soul is eternally inflicted by matter. His union with 'Karman' has no beginning and at every moment it is gathering new matter (Āśrava), it has in natural course of things, no end. The deliverence of the Soul from the 'Karman' is therefore only possible by artifical means through series of special processes. The 'Jiva' must hinder (Samvara) the absorption of new Karmans
