JAINISM--WHY WE FAILED TO ATTAIN SALVATION------???

With Swadhaya ( Reading ) Aagams we can change many of our misconceptions. So far I was under the impression that human race is largest living soul category in universe. As per 11th July12 World's Population day- in 2012 world  human population was estimated at a
7.046 billions figure. To my surprise- it was just opposite in reality.
In 25/03 Shatak of Bhagwatisutra and 03 of PradyapanasutraPujya
Bhagwan Mahveerswami informed Gurugautamswami in the chapter 'Gati Aadi ka Alpabahutva " (Minimum and maximum souls in various categories) that living souls are in descending order from
Tiriyanch (plants, air, fire, water and animals),Siddha, heaven ,hell and human. Detailed classification is being summarized here under.
Human lady ,human gents, hell, Tiryachani, heaven gents, heaven lady, Siddaha ( liberated soul ) and Tiriyanch Gati is their specific ascending order. Thus we are at much lower side.
In simple term minimum starts from human lady and it ends with the Tririyanchgati. This can correct our population concept in totality.
I was sadden with the fact that liberated souls are the second most largest group then why cannot we be included in this category ? So many fortunate souls became Siddha with salvation but we are still waiting for our turn -just thinking-- on this subject for a while.
To clear my doubts I met Sugurudeo and discussed the topic with him. He told me that with following three main reasons, we failed to get liberalization so far. These reason can be discussed as under. 
 1--Constantly engagement in 18 sins for living and other reasons.
 2--Following wrong beliefs other than preaching of Lord Mahaveer.
 3--Not giving up  the Mohniya Karma completely ( love and hate for material and non material things ).Those are the main reasons.
He further said--" we took Diksha and became monk. Now we are in full Samaik till last breath, thus will be more closer to get Moksh
or salvation than people who failed to take Diksha. He further added that it may be quite possible that we could have seen or heard Mahaveer Bhagwan or any other Thirthankaras in Samavsaran physically but with layers covering correct knowledge we failed to grasp His/their preaching. So let us cover the shortfall now.
We continued to enjoy other non material things that life offered at that point of time. Our such mistake caused more cycles of life and death and we could not make it during Bhagwan's presence. 
Till it is not too late if we have decided  now to rectify our mistakes and determined to walk on road shown by him ,the salvation destination is not far away. Still there is scope to review our own
conduct, change it according to Jain philosophy and walk on the road of salvation " Gurudeo concluded his answer to my query.
I thanked him and decided to share it with my blog viewers. As a
end result unless we reach near the truth that Bhagwan has told the
salvation process for us will get delayed. The truth is brief is that the
soul is of immense happiness while material things are temporary.
