________________ 20 Hermann Kuhn than erratic swirling matter as Western science assumes. Our reality - i.e. that what we individually experience within ourselves and outside of us - is subject to far more influences than all the laws of matter might ever describe. So - if we want to free ourselves from uncomfortable circumstances, if we want to steer our life on our own, then it is worth the effort to find out what reality is, - to find out what really determines our life. Then we need to find out what controls our selection process and how to take charge of our life again. And if we feel uncomfortable within the limits of our life and want to break out, then it is worthwhile to ask where we find new, undiscovered levels of consciousness, - and let their exploration become the most fascinating adventure of our life. Because of all these practical reasons, and not for any theoretical pondering, the next sutra describes reality. SUTRA 4 जीवाऽजीवासवबन्धसंवरनिर्जरामोक्षास्तत्त्वम ॥ ४ ॥ Jivajivasrava bandha sanvara nirjara moksastattvam (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 karmic matter (asrava) Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
