He gets trapped. Seeing the progress of others, the fire of envy starts burning in his inner mind, the poisonous germs of hatred and opposition start churning. That is why emphasis has been placed on the need for Samayik.
The Bhagavati Sutra describes that in front of the Anugar of Parsva Pathy Kalasya Vesi, the Shraman Upasakas of Tungiya Nagari had presented the curiosity that what is Samayik? And what is the meaning of Samayik?
Kalasya Vesi Anugar clearly said, "The soul is Samayik and the soul is the meaning of Samayik."
The implication is that when the soul abandons sinful activities and resides in equanimity, then Samayik happens. The soul's separation from the Kashayik disorders and dwelling in its own nature is Samayik and that is the culmination of the soul. In Samayik, the seeker abandons external vision and adopts internal vision, abandons disparity and resides in equanimity, removes attachment from material objects and resides in his own nature, just as the infinite sky is the basis for the animate and inanimate beings of the world, in the same way, Samayik Sadhana is the basis for spiritual Sadhana.

Analyzing the nature of Samayik, Samayik has been propounded from various perspectives. Its nature is propounded from name, establishment, substance, time, area and feeling etc. The seeker who performs Samayik is so stable in Sadhana that whether it is a good name or a bad name, that name has no effect on the inner mind of that seeker. He thinks that the soul is nameless, the soul has no name, the name is of the presented body, this body is the creation of name karma. Therefore, why should I make vain resolutions and alternatives? The seeker of Samayik does not rejoice by looking at an attractive object, nor does he feel disgust by looking at a disgusting form. He thinks that the soul is beyond form. Beauty and ugliness are the transformation of Pudgal atoms, which are sometimes good and sometimes bad. I am separate from the Pudgal element. Thus, he contemplates and remains in equanimity. This establishment is Samayik. The seeker who observes the Samayik vow does not get mesmerized by the beauty of objects and does not get distressed by ugliness. Similarly, he does not get happy by seeing a valuable object and does not get distressed by seeing a low-value object. He contemplates that the beauty and ugliness of objects is just a human imagination. The same object appears beautiful to one person and not beautiful to another. Humans have imagined value in diamonds, emeralds, rubies, pearls etc., otherwise they are just stones like other stones. Thinking this way, the seeker maintains equanimity in all material objects. This is the substance Samayik. Whether it is the scorching heat of summer, the terrible chilling cold of the month of Paush, the rain in the form of thousands of streams in Shravan, Bhadrapad or the drizzle of drops, whether it is a favorable time or an unfavorable time, the seeker who observes the Samayik vow wanders in equanimity. Cold, heat etc. are the touches of Pudgal and all these Pudgal affect only Pudgal. I am the soul, no touch can have any effect on me. I have to stay away from these Vaibhav situations and reside in the soul nature. This is the time Samayik.
For the seeker who is devoted to Samayik, whether it is a pleasant place or an unpleasant place, whether it is a beautiful fragrant garden or a barren land, whether it is a high attic of a huge city or a thorny land of a deserted forest, it makes no difference.
