________________ - 588: Bhagavai 7:7:146-150 Thus, he is capable of enjoying pleasures, so also he can renounce the pleasures and be a renouncer. If even a one-sensed beings can bind human life-span by his auspicious adhyavasāya, then how should not a weak person be able, by his auspicious adhyavasāya, to effect falling away of karma and bind the life-span of a god? All humans have not uniform enthusiasm, action etc. In the Dhyānavicāra, twelve kinds of each of vīrya (energy), self-efficiency etc. have been mentioned.' A person may not be able to employ sufficient good physical activity for parting with karma, but he can employ more energy for meditation. The auspicious energy of meditation may be more effective than the good activity of the physique in causing the massive falling away karma. In the Dhyānavicāra, the vīrya (energy) has been defined as follows: the energy is the power that burns by means of the soul-units the karmas in the fire of meditation. So even a person, with weak physique, can renounce pleasures and effect massive falling away of karma to attain the highest goal-heaven or liberation In the present dialogue, the persons with limited clairvoyance, the highest clairvoyance and omniscience have also been described as bhogi (enjoyer of pleasure). The implication is that on account of their weak physique, they are not completely incapable of enjoying things or objects necessary for sustenance of their life, so they are enjoyers of pleasure. And because they are enjoyers of pleasure, they are also capable of renouncing, effecting massive falling away of karma and attaining the highest goal, viz., heaven or liberation.
