## Scriptural Self-Stability: Three Concise Points
**Firstly**, observe this stability in the body: even in the face of severe trials or fearsome obstacles, it remains unshaken. This stability is the result of unwavering restraint, fueled by the pursuit of the ultimate goal, and guided by the teachings of the Jinas. It is a state that, moment by moment, gradually diminishes, ultimately merging into one's true nature.
**Secondly**, observe this stability in the five senses: free from attachment and aversion, it remains undisturbed by the five distractions. It transcends the limitations of matter, space, and time, and is characterized by a constant state of equanimity.
**Thirdly**, observe this stability in one's nature: towards anger, it exhibits a gentle disposition; towards pride, it displays humility; towards delusion, it maintains a state of witnessing; towards greed, it remains free from greed itself. Towards those who inflict suffering, it harbors no ill will; even towards the cycle of birth and death, it remains unattached. It transcends the limitations of the body, and is characterized by a strong foundation of unwavering determination.
**Furthermore**, observe this stability in one's actions: it is characterized by nakedness, shaved head, and abstinence from bathing, tooth-brushing, etc. It is free from hair, beard, nails, or any other bodily adornment, and is a testament to the restraint and discipline of the Nigrantha.
**Moreover**, observe this stability in one's attitude: towards enemies and friends alike, it maintains equanimity. It remains unaffected by honor or dishonor, and is characterized by a pure and unwavering equanimity in the face of life and death, and throughout the cycle of existence.
**Finally**, observe this stability in one's conduct: it is characterized by solitude, wandering in cremation grounds, or dwelling in mountains alongside tigers and lions. It is characterized by a steady posture and a mind free from agitation, and is a testament to the attainment of the ultimate friend.
**Furthermore**, observe this stability in one's inner state: it is characterized by a mind free from agitation, both in the midst of austerity and in the face of pleasure. It views dust particles and celestial beings, as well as the riches and flying chariots of the gods, with the same equanimity, recognizing them all as mere particles of matter.
**Ultimately**, observe this stability in one's resolve: it is characterized by the complete eradication of the attachment to virtue, and is a testament to the attainment of an extraordinary state of being. It is characterized by a pure and unwavering focus, and is a testament to the attainment of the highest state of being.
**Srimad Rajchandraji**, with unwavering determination, strives to overcome the attachment to virtue, utilizing all his strength and resources. He is committed to the destruction of the enemy of joy, with unwavering dedication and determination. He is fully engaged in this endeavor, with unwavering resolve. The phrase "to the best of one's ability" is used here with a specific purpose. It signifies acting according to one's capacity, without exceeding it. It implies two things:
1. **Not exceeding one's capacity:** This means not acting beyond one's limits, and not exceeding one's capabilities. It implies refraining from impossible actions, and acting within the limits of one's mental, verbal, and physical capabilities.
2. **Acting according to one's capacity:** This means utilizing all one's available strength and resources. It implies acting in accordance with one's capabilities, and utilizing all one's potential.
