CHAPTER VII
- 141 एवमादु एदु विविहे सव्वे भावे य णिच्छदे णाणी । जाणगभावो णियदो णोरालंबो दु सव्वत्थ ।।२१४॥ evamādu edu vivihe savve bhāve ya ņicchade nāņi jāņagabhāvo niyado nīrālambo du savvattha (214)
एवमादिकांस्तु विविधान् सर्वान् भावान च नेच्छति ज्ञानी ।
ज्ञायकभावो नियतो निरालम्बस्तु सर्वत्र ॥२१४॥ 214. The Knower has no hankering after all these various psychic•states (such as desire and appetite for external objects). Since he is really of the nature of the Knower he remains everywhere independent (of alien influences).
उप्पण्णोदयभोगे विओगबुद्धीय तस्स सो णिच्चं । कंखामणागदस्स य उदयस्स ण कुव्वदे णाणी ॥२१५।। uppanno dayabhoge viogabuddhiya tassa so niccain kainkhamanāgadassa ya udayassa na kuvvade nāni (215) उत्पन्नोदयभोगो वियोगबुद्ध्या तस्य स नित्यम् । काङ्क्षामनागतस्य च उदयस्य न करोति ज्ञानी ॥२१५॥
215. Thus the Knower having always an attitude of renunciation towards the enjoyable environmental objects arising from the operation of karmas, he exhibits neither a desire for the present changes nor a longing for the future ones.
जो वेददि वेदिनदि समए समए विणस्सदे उहयं । तं जाणगो दु णाणी उभयमवि ण कंखइ कयावि ॥२१६॥ jo vedadi vedijjadi samae samae uiņassade uhayan tam jāņago du nāņi ubhayamavi na kamkhai kayāvi (216) यो वेदयते वेद्यते समये समये विनश्यत्युभयं ।
तद् ज्ञायकस्तु ज्ञानी, उभयमपि न कांक्षति कदापि ॥२१६॥
216. Psychic activities corresponding to what feels and what is felt, both get destroyed every moment. One who knows this is the Knower. Never does he long for these.
