________________ What Decides Gati I decide my destiny on the basis of my deeds and conduct. Manushya Gati Tiryanch Gati Narak Gati Dev Gati • One who is contended with life, is simple and compassionate decides the rebirth in a Human State. • A Living being who is mean, selfish, cheats others, is proudy, feels superior to others, decides rebirth in a Tiryanch State. • One who practice controlling of senses gets rebirth in a Heaven State. • A living being indulged in the five infirmities (Paap),four passions (Kashaay) and accumulation of wealth, decides rebirth in Hell State. Only our human birth is worth when we acquire right faith, right knowledge about the self and live a compassionate life full of virtues. This leads to the right path of Moksha, thereafter we no longer take rebirth in any of the four states (Gati). Jain Education International For Private 13ersonal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
