SOUL---IT'S SIZE AND LOCATION---JAINISM

Soul is of invisible form and weightless one, so far science could not prove existence of soul. But it is trying hard to discover main cause that leads to death. Failure of organs like heart, brain. kidney etc. are clinical reasons. But actual parting of unknown force from body is beyond it's reach. Such invisible force is termed as soul. Existence of soul is agreed upon by major religions but they differ with each other for it's form. Some believe it to be heart shape located in heart and so on. Interesting to know Jainism version of it. Let us study it as now.It has no color, taste. smell or touch. It is a combination of individual's Dyan,Darshan and Upyog.May be different in each as per his Karma.

Jainism believe it is spread over whole body. Actually first the soul enters mother's body and take sperm as Aahar and built body as per individual Naam Karma. Then soul complete other 4 four remaining "Prayapties",They are- body, organs, breathing, language and mind. To build body soul use sperm, and mother's intakes. Soul in elephant and ant is exactly same with different coverage layers of Karma .It is all about "Chetana" soul has. Non living thing do not have Chetana.

All different organs are doing their work as eye can only see and ear only can hear. They cannot do things of other organs. Overall clarity of such thing or human is realized by soul at it's entirety. Just check a thorn pinch in leg send pain feeling to entire body. A favorite dishes smell makes tongue watery It proves presence over whole body. Any living soul from Ekendraya to Panchedriya small or big and their

decisions or any reaction to circumstances is being guided by soul. It depends upon his Karma, it's Uday-Bhav and backing of good deeds,

Just see power of soul. A living man is capable of walking thousands of miles but once soul depart from body same human need minimum four persons to reach for last rituals. Soul is born out living Dravya known as Pradesh. All Pradesh have unique four features. They can cannot be cut, burn. cut or catch. All living souls have this features. To put it in easy terms it is virtues of a soul being Dyan and Darshan.

As fire has two virtues namely light and heat, soul has above virtues. Skundh is whole and compete Draya, part is desh and smallest one is Pradesh. All 3 are inseparable but Nirjara can change Karmas layers.

Soul is permanent in nature but it's virtues can change as per actions and Nirjara. More it removes bad Karmas more it will be clean, pure.

Rupi-Pudgal have Parmanu or particles. Soul has Pradesh, Skhandh. It has no parmanu as even a minute portion of cannot be cut off. soul is a single "Dravyaroop" having "Asankhyat Pradesh".

Hence Jainism advocates equal treatment for all of living creatures.
Tiny Pradesh of soul are moving through body constantly and give functionary powers to organs.8 Pradeshs known as Ruchak Pradesh, are non-moving and being centrally located at central of body being naval. They are also covered by Karmas along with all particles. In chapter 8/10 of Bhagwatiji, Mahaveerswami informed that the soul is having numerous "Pradesh". All of them are exactly equal to Pradesh of "Lokaaakash" as evident at the time of "Kewalisamudghat".All of such Pradesh are being covered by layers of Karmas built by soul.

As per Jainism soul is the only single architect of each one's Karmas. Looking into it through Samaik and Dyan can give a man, vision for salvation. If one is able to conquer it's soul's negative points, he can conquer the universe. Looking within soul makes one to cut off and overcome bad qualities. The effort put him in right vision and correct knowledge, faith and conduct can lead to ultimate goal of salvation.

Soul arranges it's departure from a particular body after completing the specified term, known as death. After death, all elements of soul reaches to the specified location as decided at the time of the said
"Aayushyabandha".For souls getting salvation only destination is Siddha-Sheela on top of Universe. Particles of soul reaches to the specified destination in all and in totality while taking a new birth.

At Siddha-Sheela all noble souls reside permanently. They get rid of taking new birth for ever. They remain there for ever in a body less form. They clear life and death cycles for ever permanently. Soul has eight components as explained in Blog. Jainism teach us to care for

all actions of soul as it determines cycles of life. A clean soul which is free from all negative and positive shall be our sole and only aim

in life. By keeping it clean salvation can be easy. Every tiny action of either good or bad of ours attach or detach Karma to us Be careful to keep this source of salvation and all next lives clean as possible. Just take care to make it free from jealousy or hate or enmity, A soul can carry forward it for so many next lives. Check it for cat ,dog and rats.
