FAULTS OF STUPOR AND ATTACHMENT
77. (O soul !) Think about the fruits of good and bad karma of beings. Every being loves happiness.
The sagacious sees this (fruition of karmas). For example becoming blind, deaf, dumb, one-eyed, without limbs, hunchback, black, spotted (due to skin disease or leprosy) and getting other deformities is because of (the bondage of karma caused by) one's own stupor. Only because of (the bondage of karma caused by) his own stupor he drifts (takes birth) into various yonis (genus) and suffers a variety of miseries.
78. Not understanding the fruition of karmas, tortured (physically) and tormented (mentally), he continues to drift in cycles of rebirth.
Those people who love only this indisciplined life, they have fondness for area (open land) and constructions (buildings). They acquire colourful dresses, gems, earrings, gold and women and remain obsessed with them.
Such (attached) people can neither indulge in austerities nor discipline their senses or follow any rules.
An ignorant attached to possessions desires to live an opulent life without any disturbance (and with a desire to enjoy again and again). (But when he fails to acquire happiness) that fool gets the opposite and is tormented by the pain. ____ विवेचन-संसार में जितने भी दुःख हैं, स्वयं के प्रमाद के कारण ही होते हैं। जैसा आगम में CHET - gero eta as ? aut al 94190t/"-:e font fabell? via t t 34747 प्रमाद से किया है।
विषय आदि में आसक्त-प्रमत्त मनुष्य परिग्रह का संग्रह करता है, उनमें अत्यन्त गृद्ध हो जाता है। ऐसा व्यक्ति तप (अनशनादि), दम (इन्द्रिय-निग्रह, प्रशमभाव), नियम (अहिंसादि व्रत आदि) का आचरण नहीं कर सकता, अगर लोक-प्रदर्शन के लिए करता भी है तो वह सिर्फ ऊपरी है, उसके तप, दम, नियम निष्फल-फलरहित होते हैं।
Elaboration-All the miseries in this world are caused by one's own stupor. As is said in the Agams-“Who brought about misery ? A being did that through his stupor.” आचारांग सूत्र
(800)
