________________ 132 Letter 20 infinite Jeevas other than myself, Pudgal, Dharma, Adharma, Akash and Kaal are all Ajeev Tattva. Just note that once the point of view from which the subject is seen or described changes then its definition also changes. The moment, the point of view changed from general to personal, we find that the statement also has changed. You will wonder why we are changing the context from general to personal ? It is so, because to attain Samyak Darshan we have to withdraw our attention from everything else and concentrate on our own Jeev Tattva only. My Dnyan, Darshan exist in my own Jeev Tattva and Reena, your Dnyan, Darshan, lies in your own Jeev Tattva. Mona, your Dnyan, Darshan exist in your own Jeev Tattva and this is true of every Jeev. My Dnyan, Darshan do not exist in other Jeevas, therefore from my point of view, all Jeevas come in the category of Ajeev Tattva. So from my point of view all the other Jeevas are included in Ajeev Tattva. Oh I in that case even Arihant and Siddhas are also Ajeev Tattva. There is a big commotion as soon as people hear it for the first time. My cousin Avinash said that he had a sleepless night after he heard such a statement for the first time. He was wondering that Siddha and Arihantas are included in Ajeev Tattva. If a person gets rid of his ignorance and gets enlightened by learning just one Tattva then there is no doubt that once you study and understand all the seven Tattvas thoroughly and properly, you will be enlightened in the true sense and shed away all the ignorance and misconception which you had since times immortal. And thereby you will attain Samayktva. (3) Asrava Tattva :- Evolution of pious and sinful passions. This is the simple definition of Asrava Tattva. If we see it in details, then it can be described as follows (1) Mithyatva i.e. wrong belief, (2) Avirati afarfa i.e. inability to take vows which lead to pious lifestyle without committing sins or wrong life style, (3) Prama, xera i.e. negligence to concentrate in one's own self, (4) Kashaya or passions, and (5) Yoga or vibrations of Atma Pradeshas, which lead to Karmic influx and bondage, are all Asrava. And because they are modifications of Jeev they are called Bhavasrava hrana. And while Bhavasravas are taking place in Jeev, at the same time infinite Karmic Paramanus get attracted. This influx of Karmic Paramanus is called Dravyasrava gama.
