MOKSHA MARG PRAKASHAK
Since eternity, only Asrava Bhavas are found evolving to this Jiva. Samvara (stoppage of influx) has never been evolved; therefore, evolution of Samvara is not comprehended by him.

Therefore, he makes no effort for stoppage of influx (Samvara of Asrava) and believing other objects to be distress-causing, makes efforts for their dissociation but those are not under his control; he unnecessarily feels melancholic.
