________________ 500 I am the Soul Through this labdhi a tiny statue of shubha - good - pudgals is made which travels the long distance to the Kevali Bhagawan, obtains clarification of the doubts and upon return disintegrates. The pudgals used in making such statues are of the aharaka category. This labdhi was available only to the fourteen purvadhari sages and to none others. 8. Avarga category: These are useless pudgal skandhas which are most abundant in the universe. Large and small skandhas of this category roam the atmosphere. They have never been useful to any jiva, nor will be of any use ever. Their existence is limited to being pudgals. They keep on combining and disintegrating. Thus these eight types of atoms-pudgal skandhas have filled the universe to the brim. But until they get a reason in the form of a jiva's feelings, they do not have any effect on the jiva. They are floating on their own. In spite of being inanimate, when they attach to a jiva due to a stimulus provided by the jiva, as a result of the life energy in the atma, they begin to act as if there is life in them too. Similarly, the karmas which reside on an atma, in spite of being inanimate, occupy the same space as that of the atma. As a result they affect the atma. In response to the disciple's doubt as to how the inanimate karmas can provide results to the jiva, Gurudev has explained how the inanimate atoms of pudgals get variously transformed in the refuge of the jiva and what all they can do. All the inanimate powers of the universe that we are putting to use today are all assisted by the power of our own chetana. In the absence of chetan, the inanimate can do absolutely nothing. With chetan's inspiration, the inanimate can do a lot. The proof of this are the disparities earlier mentioned. Jain Educationa International For Personal and Private Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
