6. Human Life
•
According to Jainismm, human life exists. Simplicity of behaviour leads to human life. Humble character brings good result in human life. Compassion gives human life. Want and envy is linked with human life. In the human condition of life the jiva is confined for nine months in the womb of the mother. On account of the contraction of the body, it has to bear pain. The torturous pains it has to suffer while coming out of the mother's womb cannot be exhausted by any description. During childhood it does not acquire any knowledge. During youth it is all engrossed in pleasures with its spouse. Old age is equal to semi-death, how can it see and realize its essence. (true nature). One should aspire for deliverance, thereby leading towards Nirvana.
