SAMAYASARA
नो स्थितिबन्धस्थानानि जीवस्य न संक्लेशस्थानानि वा । नैव विशुद्धिस्थानानि नो संयमलब्धिस्थानानि वा ॥५४॥
54. In the (pure) soul there is no stage of the duration of bondage, or of emotional excitement or of self-purification or of the acquisition of self-control.
व य जीवद्वाणा ण गुणट्ठाणा य अत्थि जीवस्स । जेण दु एदे सव्वे पोग्गलदव्वस्स परिणामा ॥ ५५ ॥ neva ya jivaṭṭhāņā ņa guṇaṭṭhāṇā ya atthi jīvassa jena du ede savve poggaladavvassa pariņāmā (55)
नैव च जीवस्थानानि न गुणस्थानानि वा सन्ति जीवस्य । da g và að yquzz6ata qfzonar: 1|44||
55. The classification of the organic beings (according to the principle of biological development) and the classification of man (according to the principle of ethico-spiritual development) are not applicable to the pure soul, since all the abovementioned differences are the result of the manifestation of the material conditions.
COMMENTARY
Varna or colour, such as black, green, yellow, red and white, are qualities of physical objects and physical objects alone, and hence they cannot be predicated of jiva which is entirely non-physical and spiritual in nature.
Gandha or smell is of two kinds. Pleasant odour and
unpleasant odour. These are also characteristics of physical objects and hence cannot be predicated of the soul.
Rasa or Taste, is as follows:-Sweet, bitter, acid, pungent, and astringent. These tastes are also associated with material things and hence cannot be transferred to the soul because of the intrinsic difference between the two.
Sparsa or contact sensation consists of smooth or rough, cold, hot, heavy or light, and hard or soft sensations. These different contact sensations are all again associated with physical objects. Hence these physical qualities cannot be predicated of jiva or soul.
Sarira or body. The body associated with jiva is of five different, kinds: audārika sarīra body given birth by the mother;
