The Doer (Kartā) and the deed (Karma)
Verses 141 to 144 are valuable in many ways. These become helpful in learning the method of experiencing Samayasāra (the soul in its essence). From these stanzas and the related discussion by Ācārya Amstacandra it can be inferred that one first needs to understand about soul and basics of the soul science or spiritual science from different points of view. After such understanding, to be tuned to the Self, one needs to learn to restrict one's senses and mind. In this state of calmness, one neither pays any attention towards any reflective thought nor possesses any bias towards any point of view. Ācārya Amstacandra in Ātmakhyāti writes that in such a state the realization of the Samayasāra is possible. He further writes that due to such realization or knowing or experience, the Samayasāra alone is called as SamyagDarśana (right belief) and Samyag Jñāna (right knowledge).
