SAMAYASARA.
मोक्खं असतो अभवियसत्तो दु जो अधीएज । पाठोण करेदि गुणं असद्दहंतस्स गाणं तु ॥ २६२॥ मोक्षम श्रद्दधानोऽभव्य सत्त्वस्तु योऽधीयीत ।
पाठो न करोति गुणमश्रद्दधानस्य ज्ञानं तु ॥ २६२ ॥
292. A soul, incapable of Liberation, having no belief in Liberation, even after study, derives no good from the lesson, because of want of faith in right knowledge.
Commentary.
An Abhavya soul or one incapable of acquiring right belief is known as such only to the Omniscient Arhats. Such a person although he may be well-versed in the Jain scriptures and may, even follow the practical conduct of a laymen or a saint, to the letter of the scriptures, yet all this is useless so far as Liberation is concerned. It is only the correct knowledge of the real point of view, which is the cause of self-absorption.

सहदिय पत्तयदिय रोचेदिय तह पुणोवि फासेदि । धम्मं भोगणिमित्तं गहू सो कम्मक्खयणिमित्तं ॥ २६३ ॥ श्रद्दधाति प्रत्येति च रोचयति तथा पुनश्च स्पृशति । धर्म भोगनिमित्तं न खलु स कर्मक्षयनिमित्तं ॥ २६३ ॥
293. He believes, trusts, desires, and also follows meritorious deeds for the sake of enjoyment, but certainly not for the destruction of Karmas.
Commentary.
This is so because in the depth of his heart there lingers a desire for sense pleasures. His religious actions cause him bondage of meritorious Karmas, as a result of which he can reach even up to the 9th Graiveyaka in the heavens. Without the help of true knowledge of real point of view, mere knowledge and conduct cannot lead to self-absorption.
आयारादीणाणं जीवादीदंसणं च विष्णेयं । छज्जीवाणं रक्खा भणदि चरित्तं तु बवहारो ॥ २६४॥
