SHRIMAD BHAGVAD GITA-A JA IN PERSPECTIVE
the Jain philosophical structure of Godless creativity is based, The process by which the author of Gita describes the fall and subsequent ascendancy of the aspirant who dies without achieving the final goal on account the fickleness of mind, is exactly similar to the Jain metaphysical belief that the aspirant who has been able to climb the higher step of ladder called "Gunasthanaka” falls to the lowest ladder of the second step if he has not been able to wipe off all the traits of attachments (Moha). However, on account of the experience, which he has already obtained in his previous birth he has little difficulty to progress further after his fall.
This is the end of the 6thchapter of Gita, which is in complete agreement with most of the basic fundamentals of Jainism.
