Spiritual Understanding of Predestination
Person needs Freewill, Determination, Effort or Ego to progress from Illusionary/Ignorant state (1st Gunasthank) to Monkshood state (6th Gunasthank) Person can not spiritually progress further without dissolving his/her ego. To the egoless person, all events that occur in the universe seems predestined • This does not mean that events are predestined in
reality (all five causes are equally present) Only single concept of Predestination violates Jain theory of Five Samavayi Causes.
