________________ 116 Concept of Paryaya in Jain Philosophy continues till the soul does not get emancipated. This is a great journey of a corporeal from falsehood to the ultimate truth. This journey needs every substance to participate according to their responsibilities. Thus each of them is activated towards one objective. This is what makes this world full of motion, full of life and ever-cycling. So every performance of this world and existence of five fold inanimate substances are explained well because of mode. According to the Jaina theory one mode may contain other modes in it. The example is as follows : the age of a human being is defined by the different modes ? Like childhood, youth and old age etc. and human being itself is a mode of a corporeal. So being a human being itself is a collective mode of multiple number of various modes. From the above example two types of modes are depicted here. The corporeal itself is a mode of a soul for which the time of its origin is beyond to be known. On the other side human being and its different states are the examples of such modes for which the time of their origin could be known13. This order shows existence of modes under another modes14. In the definition of the presage of the sixfold substances, two essential characteristics have been considered ? One of which is mode. From the main part of the discussion it is well understood that mode is the source of every kind of changes and thus it regulates motion, rest and as well as continuity simultaneously. According to the theory ? mode means a particular condition which has a certain life-span with a beginning and an end 15,16,17. A soul travels a long way through modes from one incarnation to another till it does not get emancipated. Perversity has two classes according to their origination, one of which is originated and the other is characterised as originless, that has no beginning. The state of perversity is one of the several modes that a soul assumes in its journey in the world of birth and death. This originless perversity seems to be an exception to the rule of being a mode as it has no beginning. Emancipation is the final state of a pure being. This state is devoid of any kind of time limit. By this rule cessation of this mode has been prevented. Though the process of cessation of the previous mode has been considered as necessary in the state of emancipation 18. The journey of spiritual development starts from the state of perversity due to anadi mithyatva and achieves completion within the state of emancipation for ever without cessation of the time limit.
