Even an atom in the universe is not mine. I am a pure, knowledge-filled, conscious, formless soul. I have nothing to do with this entire universe. In the past, I was bound by karma due to my attachment to this universe. Now, this karma is coming to collect its due. Let it take its due and quickly free me from debt! After all, "I am not the universe, and the universe is not me. It is not mine, and I am not its." I am I, and it is it. What is mine is mine, and what is its is its. O conscious one! What is mine is with me, everything else is different. So why do you keep saying "mine, mine" in this universe? Why do you keep saying "mine, mine"? Break the attachment of "mine" and "mine." Be certain that "mine" is mine.
Due to this supreme detached attitude and the great influence of the unbroken soul-consciousness, even though the enlightened person is surrounded by the universe, they are not attached to enjoyment. They remain unattached even in the midst of enjoyment, like a black beetle on a black cloth, they experience the karma of enjoyment without being stained. They are freed from the three times (past, present, and future) but are not bound. This is a supreme wonder. This is the supreme secret of the enjoyment of the karma of enjoyment by the enlightened Tirthankara. Even though the Tirthankara, who is detached from the world for countless births, is sometimes forced by past karma to live in a household, they are a firm, knowledge-filled, supreme soul-knower, and even though they experience the karma of enjoyment, they are not bound. Instead, they experience the karma of enjoyment and are freed from it, they destroy it. This is a well-known fact. (See, p. 273-274)
In the same way, some exceptional, powerful enlightened beings, due to the force of past karma, are sometimes forced to live in the world, even though they are truly unwilling from the depths of their hearts. These supreme, powerful yogis, with their supreme self-awareness, remain unattached even in the midst of the world, and they make a supreme effort to transcend it effortlessly. Like the "charan seva" of the fourteenth Jin, who walks on the sharp edge of a sword, they maintain their supreme self-absorption even though they are surrounded by worldly attachments. They demonstrate the amazing feat of walking on the sharp edge of the pure soul-consciousness, showing the supreme, amazing power of the self that they have cultivated, and they inspire joy and wonder. But these exceptional beings are rare, because it is difficult, though not impossible, to maintain self-absorption in the state of renunciation.
