Kanta's vision, the state of non-progression on the path of liberation due to the enjoyment of objects.
(545) Filled with attachment, the enemy (of the soul) has troubled me, in the manner of a lake, much at night; under the influence of anger, pure virtues do not play, I am intoxicated with objects in this world...
"O Lord, my master, be merciful to your servant." - Shri Devchandraji. It is remembered that this wandering, only by self-destruction, does not bring indifference to the soul? Did it not know that being angry with others, being proud, being attached, being greedy, or doing otherwise is bad? Of course, it should have known, but it did not know, and this again gives dispassion to wander again. - Shrimad Rajchandra, Patranka 115 (128)
And then, in this trivial, object-like pleasure, this deluded soul is so colored, so engrossed in all the senses, that it remains immersed in its attainment, and considers it beautiful, it does not know anything else. Because it has not even dreamed of the taste of delicious food. So, just as a pig likes to lie in mud, so it likes to be engrossed in objects. Just as the fly of excrement liked the smell of excrement, so this fly of objects likes the smell of objects!
"It considers it beautiful, a rogue, it does not know anything else, a fool, it has not even attained the taste of delicious food."
U. B. Pr. 1 (Translation by Dr. Bhagvandas M. Mehta) Thus, this soul, colored by the attachment of the fruits of actions, colored by the senses, becoming the receiver and protector of external objects, becoming attached to the part of external objects, wanders in the world for an infinite time. And thus, missing the welfare of the father, this greatly deluded soul, like a beggar, takes up the burden of others, and needlessly suffers! The nectar of the words of the great souls of the liberated souls is:
"The color of the senses of the fruits of actions, the feeling of receiving from others... O Lord! Receiving from others, enjoying from others, is this nature? ... O Lord!" - Shri Devchandraji.
The action in which the soul is colored, there is its state, this is the opinion of the Jinas, it is true. The thirty great Mahamahaniya's Stanak Tirthankaras have said, it is true. - Shrimad Rajchandra, Patranka 148 (Hathnedh, 2-19)
