________________ Letter 9 61 To know Pudgal as a substance is not a fault. But to think and believe that I am this body, mind, etc. and have the affinity and attachment towards these things as one's own self is the real fault because, in reality, this body, mind etc. are Pudgal and hence a separate entity. The purpose of knowing other substances is in fact to know the nature of our own self. : Know one's own self' - is the prime important principle we have to bear in mind all the time, while studying the scriptures and Jain philosophy. We are going to Jaipur for a seminar after two days. We will meet when we come back. With love. Your Mom. ******************************** There are total 23 Varganas of Pudgal. Out of them Jeev accepts only five Varganas from which body, mind, Karma, Tejas Sharir and speech are formed. Human beings and Tiryanch possess three bodies (Sharir) namely Audarik Sharir, Tejas Sharir and Karman Sharir. Heavenly Gods and Naraki possess three bodies namely Vaikriyik Sharir, Tejas Sharir and Karman Sharir. When death occurs Jeev leaves behind his Audarik or Vaikriyik Sharir and travels to his new place of birth carrying along with him Tejas and Karman Sharir. Because both Tejas and Karman Sharir are Sookshma they are not seen when Jeev leaves behind his body and goes away i.e., in our daily speech when he dies. **********************************
