THE QUIET PURSUIT OF TRUTH: CA JAYESH MOHANLAL SHETH'S JOURNEY TO SELF-REALISATION
Jayesh Mohanlal Sheth is a name that resonates with those in search of life’s deeper truths and the elusive bliss of mokṣa (liberation from the cycle of birth and death). A chartered accountant by profession, his spiritual journey led him to self-realisation in 1999 at the age of 38. As a samyagdṛṣṭi śrāvaka (self-realised layperson), his awakening was shaped by profound contemplation and meditation on the teachings of the omniscient Tīrthaṅkara Paramātmās.
Motivated by compassion, pūjya Jayeshbhai shares his insights into Satya Dharma, offering guidance to those on the path to self-realisation. His teachings, cultivated through years of intense study and reflection on the scriptures of the Jinas (omniscient lords), focus on the fundamental principles of Universal Truth.
In his gentle, yet compelling manner, he distils the essence of Satya Dharma into accessible lessons, highlighting the pursuit of genuine happiness through its practice. His emphasis is clear: a true seeker, or ātmārthī, is driven not by external accolades or the pursuit of fame and fortune, but by an unquenchable thirst for inner growth and spiritual evolution. Such individuals lead lives of quiet simplicity, forsaking external validation in favour of introspective focus and self-realisation.
Although Jayeshbhai’s public appearances are rare, he has addressed audiences on two notable occasions: once in Karanja (Lad), Maharashtra, where he delivered a lecture in Hindi, and again in Mumbai, where he spoke in Gujarati. These exceptions offer a rare glimpse into his wisdom and clarity of thought, revealing the timeless relevance of the Universal Laws he advocates.

Central to Jayeshbhai’s teachings is the understanding of Universal Laws—the eternal principles that govern the cosmos. Every living being operates within these laws, passed down by the Tīrthankara Paramātmā. By internalising these principles, one can experience the ultimate truth and establish oneness with the true self.
In a world full of distractions, Jayeshbhai offers a timeless message: the best use of our time on this Earth is to pursue self-realisation. For those interested in delving deeper into his teachings, all of his works are available in PDF format on his website.
