PATII OF LIBERATION
(228) Whatever use of living or non-living objects, a man of Right Faith may make through his senses, is all for getting release from the Karmas.
89
(229) A man of Right Faith even when enjoying (an object), does not enjoy (it); while another person enjoys (it) even when he is not enjoying (it). A person acting in a drama does not in fact become transformed into that character. A right believer always thinks of his soul and remains unaffected by what goes on around him.
(230) The objects of enjoyment of senses do not produce either equanimity or perversion. He who has attachment or aversion for objects becomes perverted (while enjoying them) due to his delusion.
(Ã) Essential requisites of Right Faith
(231) The eight essential requisites of Right Faith are: absence of doubt, absence of longing, absence of contempt, absence of confusion, absence of belief in heretical sects, stabilization, affection and exaltatic...
(232) The persons possessed of Right Faith are free from doubts and are therefore fearless. Because of their freedom from seven fears, they are free from doubts.
