| http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#value | - Jains understand the universe to have no end; it merely cycles in and out of existence over the course of eons. [???] Through most of the cycle of millions of years, jiva, spirit, and ajiva, worldly stuff, are pristinely separate and the universe is a paragon of harmony and peace, but in periods of decay jiva and ajiva start collapsing into each other and that is the reason for struggle and pain.
