MOKSHA MARG PRAKASHAK
Question : The association of external objects is caused due to the instrumentality of karmas, then should we have attachmentaversion feeling in the karmas ?
Answer : The karmas are material (inanimate matter- particles), they have no desire to give pleasure or pain. Moreover, they on their own, do not turn into karmic form but assume the karmic form due to the instrumentality of his impure) dispositions. For example, if someone breaks his head by picking stone in his hand then whatis thefault of the stone ? Similarly, if this Jiva harms himself by turning the matter-particles into karmic form by means of his attachment, etc. (impure) dispositions, then what is the fault of the karmas? Therefore, it is wrong to entertain the feeling of attachmentaversion in karmas even.
Thus, having attachment-aversion feeling in other objects, by considering them good or bad, is wrong. Had the other objects been good or bad and if he used to feel attachment-aversion towards them then it would have not been termed to be wrong. Those objects are not good or bad but this Jiva (mundane being) entertains the feeling of attachment-aversion towards them by considering them good or bad; that is why this type of conduct is described to be wrong, and the conduct which is wrong is termed as wrong conduct.
Constitution and Growth of Raag-Dwesha
Now the constitution and growth of attachment (Raag) and aversion (Dwesha) in this Jiva are being analysed.
Primarily, this Jiva is possessing I-ness feeling in the embodied form; so, he acts by knowing self and body to be one. When a pleasurable condition is produced in this body, agreeable to self, he feels attachment in it and when an unpleasurable condition is produced, disagreeable to self, he feels aversion in it. He feels attachment in the external objects which are the cause of pleasurable state of the body and develops aversion in the destroyers of that state. And he develops aversion in the external objects which are the cause of unpleasurable state of the body and feels attachment in the destroyers of that state. And further, he develops attachment is those objects which are the instrumental cause of above external
objects and feels aversion is their destroyers. And further, develops Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only
