Glossary of key terms
Absolutist View (Nishchay Nay) :,The viewpoint that sees the soul as pure and unaffected by external substances. Experienced through self-realisation, beyond delusion, realised fully in omniscience and liberation.
Conventional View (Vyavahaar Nay) : The viewpoint that views the soul in its current state, bound by karma, driven by delusion, using tools and processes to realise the pure soul.
Delusion : A false belief, often about one's true nature, leading to the mistaken identification of the soul with the body.
Dharma : The righteous path to liberation through right knowledge, faith, and conduct, guiding spiritual progress and alignment with truth. Dharma also refers to one’s true nature, that which keeps us on the true path, and can also mean religion.
True Guru : A self-realised spiritual guide who helps seekers realise their true nature and leads them toward liberation by overcoming delusion.
Hubris (Svachchhand) : The arrogance of believing we know best, ignoring the need for guidance from a higher spiritual source.
Inclinations : Mental tendencies or leanings that can either support or hinder spiritual growth.
Innate Cause (Upaadaan Kaaran) : The material cause of an object’s transformation, which is the substance of the object itself. For example, clay is the cause of a clay pot, while external factors assist the change.
Instrumental Cause (Nimit Kaaran) : External factors that assist in the transformation of an object. In the case of a clay pot, the potter and wheel are instrumental causes.
Jina : A soul that has conquered all desires and attachments, reaching enlightenment and omniscience.
Karma : Particles of matter that "bind" to the soul, driving the law of cause and effect. Thoughts, words, and actions (with delusion) cause this karma to attach to the soul.
Moksha: Liberation, achieved by shedding karma, through overcoming delusion.
Passions (Kashay) : The four emotions—anger, pride, deceit, and greed—that arise from delusion and cause the soul to bind karma..
Righteous Observance (Sadvyavahaar) : The cultivation of virtues and faith in the true God, Guru, and dharma; the observance of spiritual practices as guided by a living true Guru; the path to moksha, through the practice of detachment and discrimination.
Samkit: Self-realisation, the state where one overcomes delusion and experiences their true nature as the soul.
Self-Righteous (Mataarthee): Someone who stubbornly believes their approach to dharma is right, according to their own opinion, clouded by pride, sectarianism & prejudice - their motivation is not purely spiritual.
