Chapter 1 - Sutra 1
The state of being in the right conduct that arises from the renunciation of passions, that is, attachment and aversion, with the knowledge of the right is what is called "Samyaktva" (Right Conduct).
- The tools of worship: When the three tools mentioned above are fully attained, the possibility of complete liberation exists; otherwise, it does not. As long as even one tool is incomplete, complete liberation cannot happen. For example, when right perception and right knowledge are fully attained, still due to the incompleteness of right conduct, liberation does not take place in the state of the soul; that is, the state of liberation without a body or the liberation of the body does not occur, and in the fourteenth stage, the state is Shailesh.
1. "G" refers to mental, verbal, and physical actions.
2. The renunciation of harm and the practice of non-violence are also called right conduct, as they lead to the cessation of attachment and aversion, and the cessation of these automatically leads to the renunciation of harm and the observance of great vows.
3. The pure conduct in the state of freedom from attachment is indeed complete, yet the incompleteness referred to here relates to considering both the state of being detached and the state of non-attachment as complete conduct. Such complete conduct is attained in the fourteenth stage, leading immediately to the liberation without a body.
4. The Shaileshi state refers to a state of the soul in which, due to the pinnacle of meditation, a stillness or immobility resembling Mount Meru arises. For further clarification, see Hindi commentary Bije, p. 30.
