से ही अपनी आजीविका करने वाले हैं, उन जीवों का जाग्रत रहना अच्छा है, क्योंकि ये 卐
जीव जाग्रत रहते हैं तो बहुत-से प्राणों, भूतों, जीवों और सत्त्वों को दुःख, शोक यावत् परिताप देने में प्रवृत्त नहीं होते (बल्कि ये जीव अनेक जीवों के दुःख, शोक और परिताप को दूर करने में प्रवृत्त होते हैं) । ऐसे जीव जाग्रत रहते हुए स्वयं को, दूसरे को और स्व-पर दोनों को अनेक धार्मिक संयोजनाओं में संयोजित करते रहते हैं । इसलिए इन जीवों का जाग्रत रहना अच्छा है।
इसी कारण से, हे जयन्ती ! ऐसा कहा जाता है कि कई जीवों का सुप्त रहना अच्छा तो कई जीवों का जाग्रत रहना अच्छा है।
18-2. [Q.] Bhante ! Why is it said that it is better for some beings to remain sleeping and for some beings to remain awake?
[Ans.] Jayanti! It is better for those beings to remain sleeping who are irreligious, follow irreligion, have faith in irreligion, profess irreligion, explore irreligion, are obsessed with irreligion, follow the conduct of irreligion and earn their living only through irreligion. It is better that such beings remain sleeping because while they are asleep they do not indulge in causing misery, grief... and so on up to ... pain to many beings (praan), organisms (bhoot), souls (jiva), and entities (sattva). When they are asleep they do not trap themselves, others and both in numerous irreligious plots and conspiracies. Therefore it is better that such beings remain asleep.
Jayanti! It is better for those beings to remain awake who are religious, follow religion, have faith in religion, profess religion, explore religion, are obsessed with religion, follow the conduct of religion and who earn their living only through religion. It is better that such beings remain awake because while they are awake they do not indulge in causing misery, grief... and so on up to ... pain (on the contrary they indulge in removing their misery, grief and pain). When they are awake they engage themselves, others and both in numerous religious plans and projects. Therefore it is better that such beings remain awake.
That is why, Jayanti! It is said that it is better for some beings to remain sleeping and for some beings to remain awake.
