________________ Letter 26 171 present there, aren't they mothers ? Yes they are. But they are not your mother, none of them except me is your mother. Similarly when we refer to Jeev Tattva it is my own Dnyan and Darshan; then the normal question that arises whether all the other Jeevas in this world are not Jeevas ? The simple answer is that they are Jeevas, but are not my Jeev Tattva or my Swa Tattva. Since there is no 'me' in them, from my point of view of Swa Jeev Tattva all the other Jeevas i.e. mother, father, son, Deva, Guru all are included in Ajeev Tattva. People are stunned and are in a state of shock when we say that Arihant and Siddha are also Ajeev Tattva. They don't believe it. In fact they are not ready to accept it. While I was in Solapur at the seminar held with Indra Dhwaj-Vidhan, I was teaching the second chapter of Chhahadhala. At that time after hearing about the nature of Ajeev Tattva; many ladies rejected to accept and call Arihant and Siddha as Ajeev Tattva. Even when I explained to them the point of view from which they are considered and called Aje Tattva they said that it was very difficult for them to digest this and felt very awkward to call them so. If one is not ready to call them as Ajeev Tattva, when will he be ready to accept them to be so ? We have already seen the nature of Ajeev Tattva and all the other Tattvas. So there is no point in repeating them here. One may ask that when you say that know and identify one's own self i.e. Swa, how to do it? To this Archarya Kundkund says “This Atma is being continuously experienced by every Jeev irrespective of being young or old." Aren't you wonder struck and stunned on hearing this? The explanation about this suspense will be given in next letter. With love. Your Mom. See the glory of reflection on Tattvas ! Without reflection on Tattvas one may have staunch faith in true God, may study many Shastras, observe vows, undergo penances etc., even then he is not entitled to evolve Real Right Belief, whereas one who reflects on Tattvas is entitled to evolve Real Right Belief even without these conventional activities. Pt. Todammalji — 'Moksha Marga Prakashak'
