## Karika 92: **Devaagam** Sometimes, a living being outside the field of vision suddenly jumps and falls under one's feet, and dies being crushed by that foot. Even when one is in a state of meditation with complete control over one's body, if a living being flies rapidly and collides with their body and dies, then in this way too, they become the cause of its suffering by being an obstacle in its path. Many righteous, detached ascetics with subdued passions and supernatural powers, merely by the touch of their body or by the air that has touched their body, cure the sick and make them experience great happiness. There are many other ways in which they become the cause of others' happiness and suffering. If the very act of becoming the cause of others' happiness and suffering leads to the inflow and bondage of merit and demerit in the soul, then how can such passionless ascetics escape the bondage of merit and demerit in such a situation? If they too fall into the bondage of merit and demerit, then there can be no arrangement for liberation or moksha; because the root cause of bondage is passion. It is also said, "Passion is the root of all bondage." "Due to the presence of passion, the soul attracts karmic particles, and that is bondage." Therefore, the absence of passion is the cause of liberation. When the absence of passion itself becomes the cause of bondage, then there is no cause left for liberation. In the absence of a cause, the effect also disappears, thus leading to the absence of liberation. And in the absence of liberation, there can be no arrangement for bondage either, because bondage and liberation, being mutually contradictory principles, are inseparably connected - one cannot exist without the other. This has been clearly explained in the commentary on the previous Karika. When there can be no arrangement for bondage, then the story of the bondage of merit and demerit becomes mere talk. Therefore, from the perspective of sentient beings, the aforementioned singular arrangement of merit and demerit is flawed.

________________ कारिका ९२ ] देवागम وا कभी-कभी दृष्टिपथसे बाहरका कोई जीव अचानक कूदकर पैर-तले आ जाता है और उनके उस पैरसे दबकर मर जाता है। कायोत्सर्गपूर्वक ध्यानावस्थामें स्थित होनेपर भी यदि कोई जीव तेजीसे उड़ा-चला आकर उनके शरोरसे टकरा जाता है और मर जाता है तो इस तरह भी उस जीवके मार्गमें बाधक होनेसे वे उसके दुःखके कारण बनते हैं। अनेक निजितकषाय ऋद्धिधारी वीतरागी साधुओंके शरीरके स्पर्शमात्रसे अथवा उनके शरीरको स्पर्श की हुई वायुके लगनेसे ही रोगीजन निरोग हो जाते हैं और यथेष्ट सुखका अनुभव करते हैं। ऐसे और भी बहुतसे प्रकार हैं जिनमें वे दूसरोंके सुख-दुःखके कारण बनते हैं । यदि दूसरोंके सुख-दुःखका निमित्त कारण बननेसे ही आत्मामें पुण्य-पापका आस्रव-बन्ध । होता है तो फिर ऐसी हालतमें वे कषाय-रहित साधु कैसे पुण्यपापके बन्धसे बच सकते हैं ? यदि वे भी पुण्य-पापके बन्धनमें पड़ते हैं तो फिर निर्बन्ध अथवा मोक्षको कोई व्यवस्था नहीं बन सकती; क्योंकि बन्धका मूलकारण कषाय है। कहा भी है"कषायमूलं सकलं हि बन्धनम्" "सकषायत्वाज्जीवः कर्मणो योग्यान् पुद्गलानादत्ते स बन्धः ।" और इसलिये अकषायभाव मोक्षका कारण है । जब अकषायभाव भी बन्धका कारण हो गया तब मोक्षके लिए कोई कारण नहीं रहता। कारणके अभावमें कार्यका अभाव हो जानेसे मोक्षका अभाव ठहरता है। और मोक्षके अभाव में बन्धकी भी कोई व्यवस्था नहीं बन सकती, क्योंकि बन्ध और मोक्ष जैसे सप्रतिपक्ष धर्म परस्परमें अविनाभावसम्बन्धको लिये होते हैं-एकके बिना दूसरेका अस्तित्व बन नहीं सकता, यह बात इससे पूर्व कारिकाको व्याख्यामें भली प्रकार स्पष्ट की जा चुकी है । जब बन्धकी कोई व्यवस्था नहीं बन सकती तब पुण्य-पापके बन्धकी कथा ही प्रलापमात्र हो जाती है। अतः चेतन-प्राणियोंकी दृष्टिसे भी पुण्य-पापको उक्त एकान्त-व्यवस्था सदोष है। Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
