पुरुषार्थसिद्धयुपाय
Scripture is not knowledge because scripture does not comprehend anything. Therefore, knowledge is one thing and scripture another; this has been proclaimed by the Omniscient Lord.
True to the Jaina philosophy, Shri Amritchandra Suri, through this last verse, has proclaimed that knowledge must come from within; in fact, the soul itself is knowledge. He has created this treatise through his own profound knowledge of the way to realize the Pure Self. This treatise can be an instrumental cause for instigating the process of realization of the Pure Self. The effort, however, must come from within the individual.
इति श्रीमदमृतचन्द्रसूरीणां कृतिः पुरुषार्थसिद्ध्यपायोऽपर
नाम जिनप्रवचनरहस्यकोशः समाप्तः।
