Dharma protects from suffering, Dharma brings peace. Dharma gives liberation and happiness, born from the destruction of karma. ||10.107||

From Dharma comes kingship, rulership, and elephant-hood. From Dharma comes the state of a Tirthankara and the ultimate liberation. ||10.108||

Dharma is a friend, a companion, and a teacher for the embodied. Therefore, place your mind in Dharma, the giver of liberation and happiness. ||10.109||

One attains a low state through unrighteousness, and a high state through righteousness. Therefore, desiring a high position, one should become devoted to Dharma. ||10.116||

The minds of the self-realized are usually inclined towards their own liberation. ||10.124||

The wise usually seek liberation. ||11.5||

By this, the existence of the cycle of birth and death is destroyed. ||11.71||

The pulsation of all beings is for their own benefit. ||11.71||

Those who have attained the state of being free from duality, find peace here. How then can those who are attached to duality, with minds afflicted by duality, find peace? ||11.164||

Enjoyment of women is not happiness, it is merely a delusion arising from the gratification of the senses. It is like fever, arising from the attachment to thirst. ||11.165||

Service to pleasing objects is not for satisfaction, but for the sake of thirst. How can one who is burnt by the fire of thirst be happy? ||11.167||

That which does not lead to the destruction of disease is not medicine. That which does not lead to destruction is not water. ||11.168||

The wise desire only mental peace. How then can those who are blind to the truth, with minds always restless, find peace? ||11.172||

Happiness derived from the enjoyment of objects is dependent on others and is temporary. It is full of suffering, impermanent, and a cause of bondage. ||11.173||

Objects are like poison, which are attractive to those who are addicted to them. The happiness arising from them is like the scratching of an itch. ||11.174||

Just as the mention of sandalwood oil in a burnt forest brings some comfort, so too is the happiness arising from objects. ||11.175||

Those who indulge in objects, especially women, are full of fear. They breathe heavily, their bodies are sweaty, and if they are happy, then who is unhappy? ||11.184||

The ignorant consider effort as happiness. Deluded by the desire for objects, they are like dogs gnawing on bones. ||11.185||
