The teacher will check.
Why do Jains say both Samvara and Nirjara are needed before Moksha can happen? Explain step by step.
First, Samvara stops new karma from entering the soul, like closing a door to bad habits. Second, Nirjara burns away old karma already stuck to the soul, like cleaning dust off a window. Only when both are complete can the soul reach Moksha and become pure and free.
Unlike most other dravyas that exist as a single indivisible substance, there are innumerable of this dravya because one exists on every space point (Pradesh) of the Lokakaash to act as a passive cause for transformation.
