Describe jeev tattva with bhed

In Jain philosophy, Jīv tattva denotes the essence of the soul, which is eternal, conscious, and capable of perception and knowledge. The concept of bhed (differences) in Jīv tattva explains the various classifications and states of the soul based on its attributes and karmic conditions. These differences include distinctions such as whether the soul is embodied or disembodied, the extent of its knowledge (Jñānāvaraṇīya karma), and its purity or impurity (Ghātiyā and Aghātiyā karmas). The soul can be differentiated into categories like Jīva (living beings with consciousness) and Ajīva (non-living substances), but within Jīva itself, bhed helps in understanding the gradations of spiritual development and bondage. This classification aids in comprehending the soul's journey towards liberation (mokṣa) by recognizing the various karmic obstructions and states it undergoes.
