होय मुमुक्षु घट विषे, एह सदाय सजाग्य. daya shanti samata kshamä, satya, tyäg, vairägya, hoya mumukshu ghata vishe, eha sadäya sujägya.
The true seeker of eternal peace has seven cardinal virtues, which are compassion, peace, equanimity, forgiveness, truthfulness, renunciation, and non-attachment to worldly relations and objects These qualities keep him constantly vigilant.
कषायनी उपशांतता, मात्र मोक्ष अभिलाष; भवे खेद, प्राणीदया, त्यां आत्मार्थ निवास.
kashäya-ni upashänta-tä, mätra moksha abhilasha, bhave kheda präni dayä, tyä ätmärtha niväsa.
Where there are no passions like anger, ego, deceit and greed; where there are no worldly desires; where there is compassion for all living beings; and where the only desire is to liberate the self, there is the abode of self-realization.
Tot, adq, 3771 G T, HCU Ootal diet; थाय निवृत्ति जेहथी, ते ज मोक्षनो पंथ.
raga, dvesha, ajnäna e, mukhya karma-ni grantha, thaya nivrutti jeha-thi, te ja mokshano pantha.
Attachment, hatred, and ignorance are the three principal reasons of the bondage of karma to the soul. The path by which stoppage of karma occurs is the path of liberation.
7.5 Self Contemplation
I wish to treat each human being as myself and to treat all other living beings with compassion. Sharing is the most precious religion. I shall have amity for all, compassion for those below, appreciation for those above, and equanimity for those who do not have the true understanding of the self.
