अध्याय - 10
Or (in order to substantiate your theory that the karmas do everything -) if you hold, “My soul transforms itself by itself,” then this opinion of yours is perverse thinking. Soul has been described in sacred scriptures as eternal and having innumerable points of space. The soul, on its own accord, is incapable of increasing or decreasing its spatial points. Know that, from the point of view of extension, the soul is coextensive with the universe. Since the soul, on its own accord, is incapable of increasing or decreasing its spatial points, how can you say that the soul transforms itself by itself? If you accept that the knowing substance exists with its knowing nature, then also it is established that the soul does not transform itself by itself.
वस्तु नित्यानित्यात्मक है -
केहिचि दु पज्जयेहिं विणस्सदे णेव चि दु जीवो। जम्हा तम्हा कुव्वदि सो वा अण्णो व णेयंतो॥ (10-38-345)
केहिचि दु पज्जयेहिं विण्स्सदे णेव केहिचि दु जीवो। जम्हा तम्हा वेददि सो वा अण्णो व णेयंतो॥ (10-39-346)
जो चेव कुणदि सो चेव वेदगो जस्स एस सिद्धंतो। सो जीवो णादव्वो मिच्छादिट्ठी अणारिहदो॥ (10-40-347)
अण्णो करेदि अण्णो परिभुंजदि जस्स एस सिद्धंतो। सो जीवो णादव्वो मिच्छादिट्ठी अणारिहदो॥ (10-41-348)
