________________ Bhagavan Mahavir had an unflinching and thorough perception of the manifoldness of reality as well as the expansive, independent, vivid and self-sufficient nature of matter, both living and non-living. This perception is the key to his lofty and sublime thoughts. For comprehending this perception, micro-classifications into endless types and subtypes may only be a primal need. Sometimes they may shift the original facet of Mahavir's thought out of the focus of our vision. Therefore, the need is to go beyond the classifications and shape our behavioural patterns according to Mahavir's basic and non-bookish thinking. Mahavir's path, for comprehending the nature of reality, is simple and natural. He believes in non-imposition. He disfavours a throbbing attraction towards merit (punya) within us. For him it is only the purity of emotion and not its goodness or evil that may free the soul from all bondage of karma and the possibility of rebirth.
