Jñānasāra - लोकमालम्ब्य कर्तव्यं कृतं बहुमिरेव चेत् । । तदा मिथ्यादृशां धर्मो न त्याज्यः स्यात् कदाचन ॥४॥॥१८०॥ lokamālambya kartavyam
kệtam bahubhireva ceti tadā mithyādršāṁ dharmo
na tyājyah syāt kadācana 11411 111801) Meaning : If what has been done by many keeping the world-consciousness in view is only to be done, the religious course adopted by persons of wrong belief will never be fit to be abandoned. (4) [180]
Notes : If it is said that what has been done by the world-minded people, should be done, then it will amount to saying that the course adopted by people of wrong or perverted belief should not be given up but, on the contrary, should be adopted. This is a non-sense. (4) [180]
श्रेयोऽथिनो हि भूयांसो लोके लोकोत्तरे न च । स्तोका हि रत्नवणिजः स्तोकाश्च स्वात्मसाधकाः ॥५॥ ॥१८१॥
śreyo'rthino hi bhūyānso
loke lokottare na ca i stoka hi ratnavanijah
stokāśca svātmasādhakāḥ 115111118111 Meaning : People hankering after emancipation are not many irrespective of the fact that they might have adopted worldly course or ultra-worldly course. Just as merchants dealing in jewels are few, those accomplishing the (goal of) emancipation are also few. (5) ( 181 )
