CHAPTER IT
99
यं करोति भावमात्मा कर्ता स भवति तस्य भावस्य ।
ज्ञानिनस्तु ज्ञानमयोऽज्ञानमयोऽज्ञानिनः ॥१२६॥
126. Into whatever mode the Self manifests himself, he is the upādāna karta substantial agent of that mode. If the manifesting agent is the Self with the right knowledge, then the corresponding mode will also be of the same nature, i. e. right knowledge. If the manifesting Self is of wrong knowledge, the corresponding mode in this case will be wrong knowledge.

अण्णाणमओ भावो अणाणिणो कुणदि तेण कम्माणि । णाणमओ णाणिस्स दु ण कणदि तम्हा दु कम्माणि ॥१२७॥ anņāņamao bhāvo aņāņiņo kunadi tena kammāņi ņāṇamao nāņissa du na kunadi tamhā du kammāņi (127) 3951247 hratsaffaa: alfa axaffor i
ज्ञानमयो ज्ञानिनस्तु न करोति तस्मात्तु कर्माणि ॥१२७॥
127. The Self ignorant of his true nature, manifests in the form of wrong knowledge and through this wrong knowledge, he makes karmas. But the Self aware of his true nature has the manifestation of right knowledge and because of this right knowledge he does not make any karmas.
COMMENTARY Thus it is made evident that the Self, who is ignorant of his true nature, identifies himself with alien objects and characteristics. Because of this erroneous identification or adhyāsa, he develops various impure dispositions which finally end in karmic bondage. But the Self with right knowledge realises his nature to be entirely distinct from alien things and attributes and hence never has any impure psychic experience. Thus remaining pure in himself, karmas do not approach him and hence no karmic bondage for him. He remains pure and perfect untouched by karmas. In short, wrong knowledge makes the Self wander in samsāra whereas right knowledge leads to mokşa
