Therefore, no way liberation (from karmas) is possible. It appears that doing karmas is ordained for soul and their ceasing never occurs.
74 होय न चेतन प्रेरणा, कोण ग्रहे तो कर्म ?। जड़स्वभाव नहीं प्रेरणा, जुओ विचारी धर्म ।।७४।।
चेतनप्रेरणा न स्यादादद्यात् कर्म कः खलु ? प्रेरणा जडजा नाऽस्ति वस्तुधर्मो विचार्यताम् ।।७४।।
(The true teacher tries to clarify.) If not inspiration from the soul, then who inspires the doing of karmas. The non-living (ajiva) is not inspirer of karmas; ponder on the nature of things.
75 जो चेतन करतुं नथी, थतां नथी तो कर्म । तेथी सहज स्वभाव नहीं, तेम ज नहीं जीवधर्म ।।७।। यदि जीवक्रिया न स्यात् संग्रहो नैव कर्मणः। अतो न सहजो भावो नैव वा जीवधर्मता ।।७।।
If soul activity does not exist, then there would be no accumulation of karmas. Karmas do not occur through their own natural tendency and nor because soul is duty-bound (to do karmas).
76
केवल होत असंग जो, भासत तने न केम ? । असंग छे परमार्थथी, पण निजमाने तेम ।।७६।। यदिस्यात् केवलोऽसङ्गः कथं भसेत न त्वाय ? तत्त्वोऽसंग एवाऽस्ति किंतु तन्निजबोधने ।।७६।।
If soul is completely independent (from matter), then why it is not thus seen by you. Soul is independent of matter, when it gains knowledge of self.
