392. As the chalk by its own nature whitens the other thing (the wall) so also the self-absorbed soul by its own nature renounces the non-self objects..
जह परदव्वं सेटदि हु सेटिया अप्पणो सहावेण । तह परदव्वं सद्दहदि सम्मादिट्ठी सहावेण ॥ ३६३॥ यथा परद्रव्यं सेटयति सेटिकात्मनः स्वभावेन । तथा परद्रव्यं श्रद्धत्ते सम्यग्दृष्टिः स्वभावेन ॥ ३६३ ॥
393. As the chalk by its own nature whitens the other thing (the wall); so (also) the right believer by its own nature believes the other substances.
एसो ववहारस्स दु विणिच्छओ णाणदसणचरिते। भणिदो भएणेसु वि पज्जएसु एमेव णादव्यो ॥३६४ ॥ एषः व्यवहारस्य तु विनिश्चयो ज्ञानदर्शनचरित्रे । भणितोऽन्येष्वपि पर्यायेषु एवमेव ज्ञातव्यः ॥ ३६४ ॥
394. Thus then the reality of the practical (standpoint) with regard to knowledge, belief (and) conduct is described. Similarly also the other conditions should be known.
Commentary. Gathas 390 to 394 declare that as from a practical view point it is said that chalk whitens the wall, so it is said that the soul knows, conates, believes and renounces other substances. Really the soul knows, conates, believes itself and is self-controlled in itself.
कम्मं जं पुवकयं सुहासुहमणेयवित्थरविसेसं । तत्तो णियत्तदे अप्पयं तु जो सो पडिकपणं ॥३६५॥ कर्म यत्पूर्वकृतं शुभाशुभमनेकविस्तरविशेषम् । तस्मान्निवतयत्यात्मानं तु यः स प्रतिक्रमणम् ।। ३६५ ॥
395. And he, who releases himself from the Karmas, good or bad, of many kinds of degrees which have been done in the past, that soul itself is real repentance.
