Significance of Attachment aversion delusion
Attachment aversion delusion in Jainism encompasses the three primary vices—attachment, aversion, and delusion—that hinder the soul's journey towards emancipation. Once achieved, the soul is liberated from these emotional disturbances, rendering these karmas irrelevant. The concept underscores that these negative influences stem from attachment (raga), aversion (dvesha), and delusion (moha), which cannot be overcome through conventional methods, highlighting the need for spiritual transformation to achieve ultimate freedom.
