The teachings of Bhagwan Mahavir

Every soul is independent. None depends on another. All souls are alike. None is superior or inferior.

Every soul is in itself absolutely omniscient and blissful. The bliss does not come from outside. Not only soul but every object of the universe also, is subject to change by itself, without any external interference.

All human beings are miserable due their own faults, and they can themselves be happy by rectifying the same. The greatest mistake of a soul is non-recognition of its real-self and it can only be rectified by recognising itself.

There is no separate existence of God. Everybody can attain Godhood by making supreme efforts in the right direction.

Know thyself, recognise thyself, be immersed in thyself - you will attain Godhood.

God is neither the creator nor the destructor of the universe. He is merely a silent observer and omniscient. One, who, even after knowing the whole universe can remain unaffected and detached, is God.
