Letter 26 own Jeev Tattva, wherein exists my own Dnyan Darshan and Para means Ajeev Tattva, Asrava Tattva, Bandha Tattva, Samvar Tattva, Nirjara Tattva and Moksha Tattva.
Just imagine that on one of the pans of a balance ( weighing scale ) there is 'me' i.e. Jeev Tattva with my Dnyan and Darshan, and on the other pan rest of all the other things in this cosmos i.e. all the infinite Jeevas, Pudgal, Dharma, Adharma, Akash, Kaal, all the wealth in this world, the earth, the planets, stars, heaven, hell, everything. Not only that even the modifications of passions like Raag, Dvesha, Shuddha modifications like Samvar, Nirjara, Moksha etc.
And even then the side which has 'me' i.e. Swa Tattva will be heavier than the other side. The reason is not only that the Swa Tattva is different than all the other things in this cosmos but it is also the most supreme and the best among all the things. And I have the capacity to know all these in only one samay.
In verse 31 of Samaysar it is said that Atma is better and greater by its Dnyan Swabhava than any other Dravya. And one who controls and rises above the sensory organs and their activities and knows one's own self or Atma which is far superior and greater than anything else due to its Dnyan Swabhava, such Jeev is called Jitendriya ( forise ).
The subject of discussion here is not this human phase or Paryay or Dnyan which is manifested expressly in this stage. But when we refer to me i.e. Swa, it is the eternally Shuddha, full of the Kewal Dnyan capacity and infinite Gunas that is being discussed. Thus we have to experience this Swa or me.
In our daily life we refer to this conjunction of body and soul as me. Though this is true in a way but it is only conventional way of saying used in daily practical life. But if one believes this to be the reality it will be a mistake or fallacy.
Just as when we refer to the term Mother, we refer to the lady who has actually given birth to the person and there can be only one such lady in the life of a person. But in day to day life the term Mother is used in many other context. Such as many a times, mother-in-law is also reffered to as mother out of love and respect for her. Even a step mother is called mother, and in our Indian society while addressing a gathering of people, the thousands of ladies in the group are many a times addressed as mothers and sisters. But this is only a conventional way of saying or figure of speech.
In your case, if somebody questions who is your mother, you will always point out to me. But at that time there may be several other ladies
