________________ 138 Gandhi's Teachers : Rajchandra Ravjibhai Mehta Soul-Seeker 33 लक्षण कह्यां मतार्थीनां, मतार्थ जावा काज। हवे कहुं आत्मार्थीनां, आत्म अर्थ सुखसाज॥३३॥ मता लक्षणं प्रोक्तं मतार्थत्यागहेतवे । आत्मार्थिलक्षणं वदयेऽधुनाऽऽत्मसुखहेतवे ॥३३।। So far the characteristics of a person with own whims have been spoken, so that such whims may be forsaken. Now for the bliss of soul, characteristics of a soul-seeker will be described. 34 आत्मज्ञान त्यां मुनिपणुं, ते साचा गुरु होय। बाकी कुलगुरु कल्पना, आत्मार्थी नहीं जोय।।३४।। आत्मज्ञानं भवेद् यत्र तत्रैव गुरुता ऋता।। कुलगुरोः कल्पना ह्यन्या एवमात्मार्थिमान् ना॥३४॥ Wherever there is soul knowledge, there is the true saint and teacher. Else, it is delusional to follow own caste guru who is not a soul-seeker. 35 प्रत्यक्ष सद्गुरु प्राप्तिनो, गणे परम उपकार। त्रणे योग एकत्वथी, वर्ते आज्ञाधार ।।३५।। प्रत्यक्षसद्गुरुप्राप्तेविन्देदुपकृतिं पराम्।। योगत्रिकेन एकत्वाद् वर्तेताऽऽज्ञापरो गुरोः॥३५॥ (The soul-seeker) considers the obtaining a visible (living) true teacher as a great gain and follows his advice in unison with the three faculties (of mind, body, and speech). Liberation Path 36 एक होय त्रण कालमां, परमार्थनो पंथ। प्रेरे ते परमार्थने, ते व्यवहार समंत ।।३६।। त्रिषु कालेषु एक: स्यात् परमार्थपथो ध्रुवम्। प्रेरयेत् परमार्थे तं ग्राह्यो व्यवहार आमतः ।।३६।। Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
