well i am a jain who is a bit confused by the extreism in the philosophy that it preaches.
an individual who has to attain nirwana would have attained nirvana as and when it evolved and wont be suffering the cycle of death and birth.
secondly if the number of living being in the world is constant then what will happen to the universe (not the only on we know but the whole lok and alok as described in the scriptures) if all the beings attain nirvana.
and if ane attains nirwana and just enjoys the pleasure of eternal and infinite knowlege then doesnt the theory of marginal utility work there. why does the being not feel like indulging itself in other good charities once he has attained nirwana.
whats the logic behind attaining nirwan and settling on the siddhshila and doing b\nothing in a formless, bodiless and eternal existence
the things confuse me and i sometimes think the if we leave our ego, our ore conceived notions, and our emotions then the pleasures of nirwana can be enjoyed here too along with the pains of this selfish world.
wht do u say
the philosophies of hinduism, buddism anf other eastern theories are constructed by highly evolved intelligent individual who came to this world and had ample time like us to ponder on the subject
if u or any one for that instance focussed on the subject fot few years, i am sure he can start his own cult and followers,
what is true and what is not is another subject all together
correct me if i am wrong
