________________ 132 Hermann Kuhn Sutras (3) Confidence in the purpose of reality and the notion of growth (samyag darshana) arise - through intuition (nisarga) or - by the acquisition of a special type of knowledge (adhigama). (4) . The individual impulse of life - 'that what lives in a living being' - (jiva) - the elements that do not possess consciousness (ajiva) - the mechanism by which a living being attracts kar mic matter (asrava) - the binding of karmic matter to a living being (bandha) - the termination of the process that binds karmic mat ter to a living being (samvara) - the separation of karmic matter from a living being (nirjara) and - the liberation of a living being from all influences that limit his innate qualities and abilities (moksa) are reality. (5) We experience reality (consciousness, matter, time etc.) on four different planes: - on the plane of articulation - where we use names and terms for the purpose of communication and social mechanisms (nama) - on the plane of mental structure - where we form our individual reality (sthapana) Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
