THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
408. Even thus knowing the objects, the ignorant (soul), not restraining the mind from non-self, and not realising in itself self-knowledge and happiness, does not attain equanimity.
Commentary. Gathas 399 to 408 explain that an ignoraat person is pleased if the sense objects or other knowable matter is agreeable and is displeased if they are disagreeable. He does not give up attachment and therefore becomes unable to gain self-knowledge and happiness. These objects are mere knowables and the soul is their knower. Those objects do not tell or prompt any one to love hate them A right-believing saint is not affected by the pleasing or painful nature of things or circumstances. Arrow of abuse do not irritate him, showers of praise do not please him. He has control over his passions. He remains equanimous and unaffected.
वेदंतो कम्मफ अप्पाणं जो दु कुणदि कम्मफलं । सो तं पुणोवि वंधदि वीयं दुक्खास्त अट्टविहं ॥ ४० ॥ वेदयमानः कर्मफलमात्मानं यस्तु करोति कर्मफलम् । स तत्पुनरपि बध्नाति बीजं दुःखस्याष्टविधम् ॥ ४०६ ॥
409. Feeling the fruition of Karmas, whoever makes that fruition of Karma its own, that one again binds that (Karma) of eight kinds, the source of misery. वेदंतो कम्मफलं मयेकदं जो दु मुणदि कम्मफलं। सो तं पुणोवि वधदि वीयं दुक्खस्स अट्टविहं ॥ ४१०॥ घेदयमानः कर्मफलं मया कृतं यस्तु जानाति कर्मफलम् । स तत्पुनरपि बध्नाति बीजं दुश्वस्याष्टविधम् ॥ ४१०॥
410. Feeling the fruition of Karmas, whoever thinks: that the fruition of Karmas is caused by him, that one again binds that (Karma) of eight kinds, the source of misery
वेदंतो कम्मफलं सुहिदो दुहिदो दु हवदि जो चेदा। सो तं पुणोवि वंधदि वीयं दुक्खस्स भट्टविहं ॥४११॥
