I am the Soul
613 The Arihant Parmatma is forever enjoying the infinite knowledge, infinite darshan, infinite virya and infinite bliss. He is experiencing the fullness of these virtues. To experience these virtues partially is niscaya samyaktva. Partially because a sadhaka's valuable qualities are not manifest completely. When mohaniya karma is totally destroyed, the three ghati karmas also get destroyed with it and that is when the anant chatushtaya - the four infinites - manifest in their totality. That is when the complete bliss of these virtues can be experienced. But the partial manifestation of these virtues is itself niscaya samyaktva. Therefore, in the niscaya samyaktva state, the experience of the virtues is also partial. Getting a part of the experience, which the Jineshwar Prabhu is enjoying, in which he is incessantly engrossed, is itself niscaya samyaktva!
Brothers! Experienced sages call a Samyaktvi jiva as the baby of Tirthankar – Laghu Nandan! What a sweet way of calling
भेद विज्ञान जग्यौ जिन्हके घट सीतल चित्त भयौ जिम चंदन केलि करै सिर मारगमैं जग मांहि जिनेसरके लघुनंदन सत्य सरूप सदा जिन्हकै प्रगट्यौ अवदात मिथ्यात निकंदन सांतदसा तिन्हको पहिचानि
करै कर जोरी बनारसी वंदन
The great poet Banarsidass has saluted such samakit jivas. He says, 'The laghu Nandan - young baby - of the Tirthankar, whose bheda vijnana towards the inner self is awakened, whose self has become as calm and peaceful as sandal, is playing about on the path to moksa -- shivamarga. He has uprooted mithyatva and realised the true form of the self. Seeing their peaceful state, Banarsidass salutes them with folded hands'.
