**Stithi:** The ignorant are bound by everything, the wise by nothing.
(503) This does not affect detachment. Therefore, "There is no rule for the production of bondage from objects. The ignorant are bound by them, the wise are never bound - they are free; because the wise, even while enjoying, do not enjoy - even while accumulating, do not accumulate! And "the ignorant, even while not enjoying, enjoy" - even while not experiencing, experience! This is a surprising but true event. * Because just as someone does business on behalf of a merchant who is not present - makes transactions, but he does not become the owner of any profit or loss, he has nothing to do with his profit or loss, he is only a servant to the letter; and the merchant himself sits and does nothing, yet he is the owner of the profit and loss, the owner of the profit and loss; similarly, a wise man with right vision, even while enjoying the objects received from the fruition of past karma, due to the absence of emotions like attachment, etc., is not the owner of the fruits of enjoying the objects - he is not the enjoyer; and the one with wrong vision, even while not enjoying the objects, due to the presence of emotions like attachment, etc., is the owner of the fruits of enjoying the objects - he is the enjoyer.
Thus, a wise man with right vision enjoys but is not bound, and his karma is naturally free! And the ignorant are bound by enjoying! Because "while consuming the objects, due to the arising of seven types of pleasant and unpleasant pain, the soul naturally experiences the feeling of knowledge and detachment, which is pleasant or unpleasant. But when it experiences, the power of wrong vision, due to the good feeling of emotions like attachment, etc., becomes the cause of bondage, and even though it is naturally free, it remains undigested and becomes bound; but the right vision, due to the absence of emotions like attachment, etc., does not become the cause of bondage, and it becomes naturally free by being completely digested. * Thus, even while enjoying, one is not bound by karma! It is the power of knowledge or the power of detachment: (1) Just as a physician does not die by eating poison, similarly, a wise man enjoys the karmic matter, but is not bound. A poison doctor, even while eating poison, which is the cause of death for others, due to the power of his knowledge, he is not affected by it. * "विषयाणां ततो बंधजनने नियमोऽस्ति न । अज्ञानिनां ततो बंधो ज्ञानिनां तु न कर्हि चित् ॥ सेवतेऽसेवमानोऽपि सेवमानो न सेवते । कोऽपि पारजनो न स्याच्छ्रयन् परजनानपि ॥"
–Shri Yashovijayji's Shri Adhyatmasar, "सेवंतोवि ण सेवइ असेवमाणोवि सेवगो कोई। વાળા #વિ જ ય પાચળોત્તિ દો.”–Shri Kundkundacharyaji's Shri Samyasar.
* To understand this topic in detail, refer to the verses 194-198 of Shri Samyasar and the beautiful Atmakhyati commentary of Shri Amritchandracharyaji on them, as well as the Virama Adhikar of Shri Adhyatmasar.
