Then the Lord answers him, "O Joyful One, who has the space for such a question, blessed is your soul! Listen with patience in your mind. I tell you as I have appeared in the form of peace:
"Blessed are you, O soul, who has the space for this question;
Listen with patience in your mind, I speak as peace appears...peace."
1. The impure and the pure, the emotions that Lord Jinavara - the supreme Vitaraga Deva - has spoken of, know them as they are, with hospitality or utmost truth, accept them with faith and firm self-realization, this is the first service of the path of peace, the first step-footprint of the path of peace.
2. And those who hold the ultimate meaning of the Agamas, those who are Samyaktava, that is, self-knowing, those who perform the virtuous actions of Samvara, those who follow the eternal path of liberation of the knowers, those who are always unwavering, completely simple and pure, and those who are the foundation of pure soul experience, the service of such a true Guru is the ultimate support of the service of the path of peace. Similarly, to respect other pure supports, to abandon all other entanglements, and to perform beautiful sattvic actions by abandoning all tamasic tendencies, is the path to attain the form of peace.
"The emotions, impure and pure, that Jinavara Deva has spoken of; know them as they are, this is the first service of the path of peace...peace.
The Agamas, the Guru, the Samyaktava, the virtuous actions of Samvara, the essence; the community, unwavering always, the foundation of pure experience...peace.
Respect pure supports, abandon other entanglements;
Abandon all tamasic tendencies, perform sattvic actions...peace."
3. Similarly, to connect with the auspicious means - the Samyagdarshan, etc., the means of liberation - which do not have any contradiction in the fruits, which unfailingly give the desired mixed fruits, in which the words are connected with the meaning, that is, the words truly serve the ultimate meaning, and in which the entire Nayavada pervades, that is, all the Naya operate in a non-contradictory, non-conflicting manner, as a means of achieving the ultimate meaning, this is the best remedy for the path of supreme peace, the path of Shiva-form, the path of liberation.
"The fruits, in which there is no contradiction, the words are connected with the meaning;
The entire Nayavada pervades, this is the connection with the auspicious means...peace."
4. To perform the rituals and prohibitions that do not oppose the essence of the self, to respect the method of accepting the soul as described in the Mahajanas, this is the all-encompassing teaching of the path of peace as described in the Agamas.
