**484] [Prajapana Sutra Pranatipatakriya - To commit suicide in any way, or to kill others or both out of hatred, this is the threefold Pranatipatakriya. _ Paritapaniki Kriya: Doubt Resolution - Any austerity or other ritual that is impossible, which causes mental distress, loss of senses, or leads to the mind, speech, and body going astray or becoming completely weak, is considered Paritapaniki Kriya. However, if it does not cause harm, results in self-benefit, creates a desire to destroy karma, and fosters elevated feelings, then it is not Paritapaniki Kriya. **
**The Nature of Active and Inactive Beings 1573. [Question] Bhagavan! Are beings active or inactive (without action)? [Answer] Gautama! Beings are both active (with action) and inactive (without action). [Question] Bhagavan! Why is it said that beings are both active and inactive? [Answer] Gautama! Beings are said to be of two types: Samsarasamavashnaga and Asamsarasamavashnaga. Of these, those who are Asamsarasamavashnaga are Siddhas (liberated beings). Siddhas (liberated beings) are inactive (without action). And of those who are Samsarasamavashnaga, they are also of two types: Saileeshipradivannaga and PraSaileeshipradivannaga. Of these, those who are Saileeshipradivannaga are inactive, and those who are PraSaileeshipradivannaga are active. Therefore, Gautama! It is said that beings are both active and inactive. 1.
