MORE ADVANCED

Once a basic understanding has been established, reading Samaysaar (Sanskrit & Hindi or Gujarati) could be the next step. Of all the Jain scriptures, Samaysaar has a special relevance and reverence amongst Jains because it explains our mistakes in understanding (in minute detail) with undeniable logic and if, understood correctly, should result in "Samyakt Darshan" i.e. true faith and experience of your nature.

Other works such as Indriyagnaan ... Gnaan Nathi, Dravya Svabhaav Pariyaay Svabhaav and Gnaan Thi GnaanNu BhedGnaan, expand on the specific and final theme of the true character of the soul's nature of "knowledge" which have been explained in Samaysaar Verse 6, 31, etc..
