Violence arises from the conjunction of the violent, and from its arising, its accomplishment occurs. And from its accomplishment, the violence of the good being is accomplished, but the violence of the ultimate reality is not accomplished by the destruction of mental activity, because the mind is inert, and it is also different from the soul. Therefore, what is destroyed in the soul by the destruction of the mind? Nothing. There is no violence of the inert, and no violence of the inert is called violence. Because it is not affected by the strike of weapons, etc. And how can mental activity be violent and the object of violence? It cannot be said that it causes the mind to be bound by sinful actions, because the mind is inert. If even the inert were to be called violent and the object of violence, then no one would be able to attain liberation. Just as the destruction of the mind would not lead to liberation from the inert substances like food, clothing, etc., so too, the attainment of violence from the inert substances would not lead to liberation. And those one-sensed beings who are without mind, will not die, because there is no absence of the destruction of mental activity. If the mind is called violent, then it will be difficult for the whole world to live; because everyone's mind is inert. ||25|| ||25||
This violence, which is in the form of the production of suffering, is not appropriate in the intellect, because the intellect is not established in the ultimate reality due to its separation from the man (soul). ||26||
