Niyamasāra
नियमसार
आवश्यक करने की प्रेरणा - Perform the essential-duty (āvaśyaka) – आवासएण हीणो पब्भट्टो होदि चरणदो समणो । पुव्वुत्तकमेण पुणो तम्हा आवासयं कुन्जा ॥१४८॥
क्योंकि आवश्यक से रहित श्रमण चारित्र से प्रभ्रष्ट (अत्यन्त-भ्रष्ट) है, और इसलिये पूर्वोक्त क्रम से (विधि से) आवश्यक करना चाहिये।
Since the ascetic (muni, śramaņa) devoid of the essential (āvasyaka) is far away from the conduct (cāritra), therefore, it is necessary to perform the essential (āvaśyaka) in the aforesaid manner.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
It has already been mentioned that, from the empirical (uyavahāra) point-of-view, the six essential duties of the ascetic (muni, sramana) are: 1) equanimity (sāmāyika), 2) adoration of the twenty-four Tirthankara (caturvinsatistava), 3) making obeisance to the Perfect One (vandanā), 4) repentance for past sinful activity (pratikramaņa), 5) renunciation of future sinful activity (pratyākhyāna), and 6) observing complete detachment from the body in a still, standing posture (kāyotsarga). (see p. 244-245, ante). The ascetic who is lax in performing these essential duties is said to be far away from the empirical conduct (cāritra). From the real, transcendental (niscaya) point-of-view, however, the ascetic devoid of the essential (āvaśyaka), as defined in this chapter, is far away from the real conduct (căritra). Real virtuous-meditation (dharmyadhyāna) and real pure-meditation (sukladhyāna) establish the soul in utterly blissful own-substance (nijatattva). And, that is the real conduct (caritra).
