read good books, work for the upliftment of the poor and the miserable, give things in charity, do meditation like samayika and Pratikarmana, do penances and indulge in meditation and enchant "Namaskara Mahamantra." Lastly even if one is not able to do anything at all, he who has full faith in the teachings of Jineshwardeva can also be called a Jain.
A soul performing duties as stated above gradually lessens the burden of karmas, attains better existence and eventually enters into a kingdom of eternal joy and happiness.
