The same body which men bereft of wisdom ( discriminating powers ) utilize for watering the seed of Samsara ( births and deaths), serves for the wise as an instrument for destroying it.
.66 While two persons are enjoying the same sweet dish, one of them as the result of ignorance, accumulates Karmas, while the other with his wisdom, destroys them.

Suppose that no insect is killed while one is running with his eyes shut [blind with infatuation) and that some insect is killed by another walking with his eyes open (with discriminating powers). However, the former, being ignorant of the real principle of life, incurs sin
of Hinsā; while the latter, on account of his · attentiveness, incurs none.

The enlightened is satisfied even with the Shyāmaka-food, while the ignorant is not satiated even with an ocean of wealth. The infatuated one cannot be liberated even by residing in the forest of Saptaparna tree and the like; while the seer, even residing at home, gets Enancipation.
