Letter 15 प्रदेशत्व गुणकी शक्तिसे आकार द्रव्योंका रहे, निजक्षेत्रमें व्यापक रहे आकार भी स्वाधीन है । आकार है सबके अलग हो लीन अपने ज्ञानमें
जानों इन्हें सामान्य गुण रखिये सदा श्रद्धानमें ।। One is advised to immerse into the knowledge, that means one has to concentrate on the Atma Dravya or Jeev substance which is immortal ( farsiteit), permanent (ta) and is sentience itself. Shape is a modification. And that is why it exists for only one samay and at every samay a new modification evolves.
One can not concentrate on such unsteady and perishable thing. That is why once you divert or take away your mind or concentration from these things and try to concentrate on the sentience Swabhava which is ever lasting then Swabhava Artha Paryay of the Shraddha attribute will start or in other words one will attain Samyak Darshan i.e. Atmanubhooti i.e. self experience.
Manifestation is known as Paryay. In the scriptures Paryayas are of two types namely Dravya Paryayas and Guna Paryayas. Vyanjan Paryay is known as Dravya Paryay and Artha Paryay is known as Guna Paryay.
When more than one Dravyas come together and form a combination it is also called Dravya Paryay. When these Dravyas are of same category, it is called Saman Jateeya Dravya Paryay HAFT Turan Sou outer which is possible only in case of Pudgal Dravya and not in any other Dravyas.
But when these Dravyas are belonging to different categories it is known as Asaman Jateeya Dravya Paryay. असमान जातीय द्रव्य पर्याय. It is possible only in case of Sansari Jeev, which are in embodied form. Here one Jeev is combined with Anant Pudgal Paramanus of body, Karma, mind, Tejas Sharir etc.
Mithyatvi Jeev believes this Asaman Jateeya Dravya Paryay as himself. In scriptures it is said that such Jeev has Paryay Buddhi.
Finally the discussion about the common attributes of substances is over here. From next letter we will start a new subject.
Even then keep on reading earlier letters. This will help you in memorising the nature of the substances, attributes and modifications and nature of common attributes.
With love.
Your Mom.
