## Mahapratyakhyanaprakirnak (The Nature of Criticism and Liberation) (22) Just as a child naturally expresses his actions and inactions, in the same way, a seeker should criticize (all his faults) by abandoning deceit and ego. (23) Only the simple-minded are purified, and in the pure-minded, Dharma resides, and (he who has Dharma residing in him) attains ultimate Nirvana, like fire moistened by ghee. (Shalyoddhranaprarupana). (24) In the Jain teachings, it is said that even a person free from karmic impurities, if afflicted by the three poisons of Maya, etc., does not attain liberation. But the being who has liberated himself from all poisons, that being free from afflictions, attains liberation. (25) Those (disciples) who are deeply afflicted by the poison of attachment, who criticize (themselves) before their Guru, attain Samadhi-death and become devotees. (26) Those (disciples) who are minimally afflicted by the poison of attachment, who do not criticize (themselves) before their Guru, even though they are rich in scriptural knowledge, do not become devotees. (27-28) A misused weapon, poison, a ghost, a machine operated incorrectly, and a furious serpent do not harm a careless person as much as the poisons of Maya, Mithyatva, and Nidana, residing in the mind during Samadhi, harm. (This) makes the attainment of enlightenment rare and (the person) becomes eternally bound to the cycle of birth and death. (29) Therefore, the (seeker) free from pride, removes the root of the creeper of rebirth, the poison of Mithyatva, the poison of Maya, and the poison of Nidana (from within). (Criticism's Fruit) (30) By criticizing and condemning his own sins in the presence of the Guru, a person quickly becomes free from burden, just like a burden-bearer after unloading his load.
