## Prabha Drishti: The Unity of Diverse Meanings of Shama - "Samajya Te Samaya"
(571) Just as a swan distinguishes between milk and water, separating the milk from the water and then consuming the milk, similarly, the Muni-like, supreme swan, the Yogi-raj, distinguishes between the Atma and Anatma, and recognizing the Anatma-like, all external influences as worthy of rejection, abandons them. He then recognizes the pure Atma-swaroop, filled with knowledge and vision, as the ultimate object of attainment and connects his mental activity to his Atma-swabhav. When the mental activity, in the form of contemplation, becomes still in this Atma-swaroop, that is primarily "G", and in Jain terminology, it is known as "Dhyan". This Shukal Dhyan-like, fiery flame burns away even the hard karma. Shukal Dhyan, a fiery flame, burns away the hard karma... leading to one's own happiness; the remaining nature is destroyed, becoming ashes, a powerful play... - Shri Devchandraji.
Thus, this Dhyan-sukh arises from Vivek-bal, the power of knowledge, and therefore it is always Shama-sar, Shama-predominant. Because "Samajya Te Samaya". The fruit of knowledge, that is, Vivek, is Virati-Shama. "Jnanastha Shreshtha Vitti" - this is the great sutra of the Jina-pravachan.
"Knowing the Atma-swaroop as it is, is called understanding. Therefore, when the use of other alternatives ceases, it is called Shama. In reality, there is only one. Understanding as it is, leads to Shama in the form of use, and the Atma becomes Atma-swabhav-maya. This is the meaning of the first sentence, "Samaji Ne Shamai Raheya". The attachment to other objects, which was considered to be the Atma, has ceased. This is the meaning of the second sentence, "Samaji Ne Samai Gaya". Whatever one understands, one abandons the "mine" and "yours", the ego and possessiveness, because one does not see any separate self-nature; and one's own nature is inconceivable, unobstructed, and purely one's own. Therefore, one merges into it." (See) - Shrimad Rajchandra, Patrant 6. (651)
Thus, the mind of a Jnani Purush, who has attained Shama in his swaroop, is characterized by a peaceful flow. Just as the flow of a tranquil river, devoid of waves, continues uninterrupted, similarly, the flow of the Yogi's tranquil mind-river, this uninterrupted, peaceful flow, continues calmly, without any waves of alternatives arising. Because the distractions have been removed, there is a uniform flow, resulting in a state of equanimity. This peaceful flow arises from the impressions created by Nirodha.
