## The Right Time to Speak Out
**Commentary**
Now, to prove the ignorance of those who believe in the teachings of the Devoptavada and others, and to show them the consequences of their beliefs, the author says:
"What is pleasing to the mind, what is beautiful, is called *manojña*. *Manojña* means what is good and pleasant. What is not *manojña* is called *amanojña*. *Amanojña* means wrong conduct or evil karma. The suffering that arises from *amanojña* karma or wrong conduct is called *amanojña samudaya*. The word 'evam' here means 'thus'. It should be understood in this way: suffering arises only from wrong conduct or evil karma. A wise person should understand this. This means that suffering arises only from one's own wrong conduct or evil karma, not from anything else.
Even though this is established, those who follow the teachings mentioned earlier do not understand that suffering arises from wrong conduct. They believe that suffering arises from other causes like God. How can those who believe in such causes understand the means to stop suffering, the means to overcome suffering?
The destruction of the cause leads to the destruction of the effect. But they do not know the true cause of suffering. How can they strive to eliminate suffering without knowing the cause? Even if they strive, they will not be able to eliminate suffering. Instead, they will continue to be bound by the cycle of birth, old age, death, separation from loved ones, and other forms of suffering. They will continue to wander in the cycle of existence like the wheels of a water-wheel, endlessly turning, according to the law of *arhattaghatti*.
## Pure Soul
**Commentary**
Some people believe that the soul is pure, free from sin, but they commit offenses due to their attachment and aversion.
