Detailed explanation-1: -The Jain word that comes closest to soul is jiva, which means a conscious, living being. For Jains body and soul are different things: the body is just an inanimate container-the conscious being is the jiva.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Concept of Jiva in Jainism The philosophy of Jainism asserts that: In every living being, there is a soul. The creations of the Universe are categorized into two – Jiva or living being and Ajiva or non-living being. The Jiva or the soul can be in two different forms – pure and impure.
Detailed explanation-3: -The two states of soul substance are mentioned in the Jain texts. These are-Svābhva (pure or natural) and Vibhāva (impure or unnatural state). Souls in transmigration are in impure state and liberated ones are said to be in natural or pure state.
