SAMAYASARA.

fall for ever. For a wise man who aspires for such Liberation, the path laid down by conquerors is only self-absorption or realisation of Samayasára or essence of soul as it is. All practical duties are merely auxiliary causes to direct his mind from all other things and to keep it engaged in soulness. If this fixity continues for one antar-muhúrta and the soul gains pure concentration and ascends the destructive ladder of spiritual stages, it is sure to destroy the four destructive Karmas, within an antar-muhúrta and attain the perfect position of an omniscient or Arhat. Thus Samayasára only is the path for the goal, which is also Samayasára.
CHAPTER X.
LIBERATION.
Pure Absolute Knowledge. दवियं जं उप्पज्जदि गुणेहिं तं तेहिं जाणसु अणएणं । जह कड़यादीहिंदु पज्जएहिं कणयं अणण्णामह ॥३२८॥ द्रव्यं यदुत्पद्यते गुणैस्तत्तैजानीह्यनन्यत् । यथा कटकादिभिस्तु पर्यायः कनकमनन्यदिह ॥ ३२८ ॥
328. Know that which is produced by the attributes (of a substance) to be no other than the substance. It is only a condition of gold which (is exhibited) by bangles, etc., nothing else.
जीवस्सा जीवस्सय जे परिणामा दु देसिदा सुत्ते।। तं जीवमजी वा तेहि मणगणं वियाणाहि ॥ ३२६ ॥ जीवस्याजीवस्य तु ये परिणामास्तु दर्शिताः सूत्रे । ते जीवमजीवं वा तैरनन्यं विजानीहि ॥ ३२६ ॥
329. Whatever modifications of the soul and of the non-soul are described in the scriptures, know them (as) soul or non-soul, and nothing else.
