THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
क्रोधोपयुक्तः क्रोधो मानोपयुक्तश्च मान एवात्मा । मायोपयुक्तो माया लोभोपयुक्तो भवति लोभः॥ १३ ॥
130. Being affected by anger (Karma) the soul itself (becomes) anger; being affected by pride (Karma), (it becomes) pride; indulging in deceit (it becomes) deceit, and in greed, it becoines greed.
Commentary.
A bar of iron when heated becomes red; and a transparent crystal being placed on a red, blue, or green surface looks red, blue or green. Similarly the soul transforms its thought-activity into anger. pride, deceit, greed or other impure thought-activities when affected by the operation of anger, pride, deceit, greed, or other Karmas bound up with the soul.
जो संगं तु मुइत्ता जाणदि उवोगनप्पयं सुद्धं । तं णिस्संग साहुं परमहवियाणया विति ॥ १३१ ॥ यः संगं तु मुक्त्वा जानाति उपयोगमात्मानं शुद्धं । तं निस्संगं साधुं परमार्थ विज्ञायका विदंति ॥ ११ ॥
131. The knowers of reality call hiin the possessionless ascetic, who, giving up worldly possessions, realises the pure soul, full of conscious attentiveness.
Commentary.
The saint, whose strong passions are subsided and who has got such a mild operation of perfect-conduct-preventing passions that they cannot disturb the pure thought-activity of self-realisation. is free from all attachment, and fully realises his own pure consciousness.
जो मोहं तु मुइत्ता णाणसहावाधियं मुणदि भादं। तं जिदमोहं साहुं परमट्टवियाणया विति ॥ १३२॥ यः मोहं तु मुक्त्वा ज्ञानस्वभावाधिक मनुते प्रात्मानम् । तं जितमोहं साधुं परमार्थविज्ञायका विदंति ॥ १३२ ॥
