**With a discerning vision, embrace the field of karma and become a karma-vegi!**
(317) Indeed! Humanity is the expectant cause in the attainment of Dharma and self-realization. The manifestation of the instrumental cause, such as the vision of the Lord, and the material cause, which manifests as the result of the self, is the success of that expectant cause, that is its account. Otherwise, what is the point of this existence? What if one dies? There is no account for it. Therefore, attaining the instrumental cause in the form of the right Dharma, and manifesting the material cause in the form of the soul, is the cultivation of this human birth, which is the seed of Dharma.
“The human birth is the first accumulation, know that as the expectant cause; the instrumental cause is dependent on the material cause, that is the account, says Shri Arnatha. The purpose of the instrumental cause is the Jinaraja, the nectar of equality; the attainment is dependent on the Lord, this is the rule...says Shri Arnatha. “The purpose of birth is fulfilled, that is the day of success; the world takes refuge in the feet of the Jina, I bow down with joy.” - Shri Devchandraji. “The human body is rare, as described in ten examples, it is attained through great merit; hurry up and make it meaningful, do not return to this world again.” - (Dr. Bhagwandas)
But the fools, the crown jewels of fools, with their dull intellect, are lovers of existence, and instead of making this human birth, which is the seed of Dharma, meaningful, they waste that seed! They lose their precious human life, which is like a priceless Cintamani gem, in various kinds of vices, false pride, pleasure, objects of desire, and passions! They act like fools who throw away a Cintamani gem to scare away a crow! Therefore, they experience a “wasted incarnation.”
“What increases with wealth and power? Tell me, does it increase with family or relatives? This is the wrong path; the increase of the world loses the human body, do not think about it, oh! You have only one moment!” - Shri Moksha Mala

Then what? **बडि शामिषवत्तुच्छे कुसुखे दारुणोदये ।
सक्तास्त्यजन्ति सच्चेष्टां धिगहो दारुणं तमः ॥ ८४ ॥**
Commentary - **शनिवव7-डिशामिष** like this, is an example; that is, like the flesh of a fish's throat, **तु-तुच७**, insignificant, **सुमुकुसुख** in, the pleasure arising from evil company, **राहथे दारुण उदयवाळा**, with a terrible rise, with a fierce result, - this is the language of the scriptures. **सा:-सक्त**, old, greedy, what? They abandon **सद-साचेश्ता**, the true desire, the means of Dharma. This karma is a fault, it...
