OUTLINES OF JAINISM
(5) anyatva-all else (the body, etc.) is separate from us ; (6) aśuchitva-the various impurities of the body, which cannot have the qualities of soul ; (7) Īsrava-karmic matter is flowing into the soul, and thus new bonds are forged for the captivity of the soul in the world; (8) sumvara- we must stop this inflow of kurmas ; (9) nirjarā—we must free the soul from matter, which has already attached to it in the past ; (10) loka—the world is eternal ; its sis elements, the drayas, souls, matter, time and space, principles of motion, and rest, are eternal too; (11) bodhi-durlabhait is difficult to attain wisdom, i.e. right faith, knowledge, and conduct; we must strive to get these ; (12) dharma, the Law our Inty is to get freedom and happiness.]
Parisalu-jaya, troubles and sufferings, the overcoming of which leads to samura. These are twenty-two: (1) hunger; (2) thirst ; (3) cold; (4) heat; (5) insectbites, etc. ; (6) nakedness ; (7) troubles arising from the conditions of a particular time or country, e.g. in warfare, plagne, etc. ; (8) women ; (9) careful walking; (10) posture adopted must be continued ; (11) sleeping on hard ground after soft beds in royal palaces ; (12) abuse of ourselves or of our doctrine by others; (13) ill-usage : (14) begging; (15) ill-success in begging ; (16) disease, if self-imposed duties weaken the body, renounce the idea of strengthening it by means of medicine, etc. ; (17) thorns and pebbles prick the wandering ascetics ; (18) dirt ; (19) no reverence is given to the ascetic by people ; he should not mind; (20) he never feels proud of his victory even over the most learned ; (21) waiting for illumination ; (22) waiting for the evolution of the soul's powers.]
