SAMAYASARA.

Commentary. The author says that the soul has the attribute of consciousness and is therefore the knower only of its own or other's modifications. He is not the doer of any sort of material modifications. Really he is neither the doer of anger, pride and other impure thought-activities. In order to understand real nature of soul, a right-believer must know and believe in the true nature of soul, which is above all mundane conditions due to Karmic bondage, Every soul in its essence is quite conscious, peaceful and happy. The realisation of this truth is the cause of liberation.
जं भावं सुहमसुहं करेदि आदा स तस्स खलु कत्ता । तं तस्स होदि कम्मं सो तस्स दु वेदगो अप्पा ॥१०६ ।। यं भावं शुभमशुभं करोत्यात्मा स तस्य खलु का। तत्तस्य भवति कर्म स तस्य तु वेदक प्रात्मा ॥ १०६ ॥
109. Whatever thought-activity, good or bad, the soul causes, certainly that (soul) (is) the doer of that (thoughtactivity.) That (thought-activity) of that (soul) is the (thought) Karma. And that soul (is) the enjoyer of that (thought-activity).
Commentary. • The soul can never be the root cause of material modifications, Even when it is in wrong belief and wrong knowledge, it is the doer of its own conscious thought-activity which is painted by intense or mild passions. Thought-activity with intense passions is called bad, while that with mild passions is said to be good, In the same way it is the enjoyer of its own pleasing or painful thought-activities. It cannot be the enjoyer of other sense-objects, which are material. The soul is the cause of its own modifications only. It cannot be said to cause material Karmas.
जो जहि गुणो दव्वे सो अयण दु ण संकमदि दवे। सो अण्णमसंकेतो कह तं परिणामए दव्वं ।। ११०॥ यो यस्मिन् गुणो द्रव्ये सोऽन्यस्मिंस्तु न संक्रामति द्रव्ये। सोऽन्यदसंक्रांतः कथं तत्परिणामयति द्रव्यम् ॥ ११० ॥
