The special nature of the world, the rare feeling of enlightenment.
From verse 106 to 107 of the fourth light of Yoga Shastra, it is not possible to have sexual intercourse in any way, but the gods who do not preach are infinitely more blissful than the gods who preach. In this way, there are three divisions of the world - Adholka, Tiryanka and Urdhvaloka. In the middle part of this world, there is a Trisanadi, which is fourteen Raj Lok Praman long and wide, up and down, in which Tris and stationary beings live, and outside the Trisanadi, there are only stationary beings. ||105||
Now the special nature of the world is being told. 432. It is not created by anyone, nor is it held by anyone. It is self-existent, without a base, but situated in the sky. ||106|| Meaning: This world has not been created by anyone, nor has it been held by anyone. It is self-existent from time immemorial and is situated in the sky without a base. ||106|| Explanation: None of the nature, God, Vishnu, Brahma, Purusha, etc. have created this world (universe). Nature cannot be an agent because it is inanimate. God, etc. do not have any purpose, so they are not agents either. If someone says - they created the world for play, then this statement is also not true, because play happens in the passionate or in childhood. If you say that 'they have eternal pleasure in playing', then it will have to be assumed that there was also dissatisfaction before, because of the pleasure of playing. If they have created the world out of compassion, then the whole world should be happy, no one should be unhappy. 'Happiness and sorrow are subject to karma' they say, then karma is the cause and believing this destroys their independence. In the world, there is someone unhappy, someone happy, someone king, someone pauper, someone healthy-sick, someone connected-separated, someone rich-poor, etc. The diversity of feelings is due to karma, then the need for God, etc. does not seem to be there. Now someone may say that 'they created the world without purpose, then that statement is also incorrect. Even a child does not act without purpose.' From this it is proved that this world has not been created by anyone, nor has it been held by anyone. Many Puranas say 'Sheshnag, Kurma, Varaha, etc. have held this world; then it should be asked from them who has held Sheshnag, etc.? The answer is that the sky has. Then who has held the sky? It is self-established.' On getting such an answer, they say that 'the world is also stable in the sky without a base in the same way.' Thus it is proved that this world has not been created by anyone, it is self-existent; it has not been held by anyone. They doubt that 'where will the world stay without a base? They answer - in the sky.' But this world remains established in the sky in the form of the existing sky.
The meaning of the inner verses in this regard is being told - they doubt that 'why is the contemplation of the world called feeling?' They answer that 'it results in detachment; listen; if happiness causes fainting in the mind again and again in any feeling, then this feeling of the world can remove it completely.' We have said in 'Dhyan Shatak' that 'earth, island, sea, etc. are the subject of Dharma Dhyan.' Without this, the seeker cannot contemplate the feeling of the world. According to Shri Jineshwara's statement, after the unshakeable certainty of the substances in the form of the world, the beings should have faith in the transcendental path of liberation. Thus the feeling of the world. ||106||
Now the feeling of enlightenment is being told from three verses. 433. From the form of desireless flow, it arises for the virtuous. From the state of being stationary, it becomes a Tris, or it becomes a Tiryanch. ||107|| Meaning: From the virtue in the form of desireless flow, the being gets the Tris state from the stationary state or it gets the Tiryanch state. ||107|| Explanation: A stone flowing in the river flow of a mountain becomes round on its own by hitting obstacles, in the same way, enduring unexpected sorrow without desire is desireless flow. That is, many karmas attached to the soul are destroyed. This is not the nature of virtue, but the soul becoming lighter from the burden of karma.
