## The Description of the Path to Liberation through the Nine Substances: Pure Certainty
**The Jiva is a collection of infinite qualities such as infinite bliss, etc., which are inherent in pure knowledge, an abstract entity devoid of senses.** This is the meaning. || 121 ||
**This explains the extraordinary actions of the Jiva.** The Jiva knows, sees, desires happiness, fears suffering, performs good and bad actions, and experiences the fruits of both. || 122 ||
**Commentary:** This describes the extraordinary actions of the Jiva, which are distinct from other beings.
Due to its inherent nature of consciousness, the Jiva is the doer of actions, knowledge, and perception. The Pudgala, which is associated with the Jiva, is not the doer, just as space, etc., are not the doer. The Jiva is the doer of actions that arise from the transformation of consciousness, such as the desire for happiness, the fear of suffering, and the performance of actions that are perceived as beneficial or harmful. The Jiva is also the doer of actions that result from the fruits of good and bad karma, such as the enjoyment of pleasant and unpleasant objects, and the experience of happiness and suffering.
Therefore, it is concluded that the Jiva, distinct from the Pudgala, is inferable through these extraordinary actions. || 122 ||
**Translation of the Sanskrit Text:**
The Jiva knows and sees everything, desires happiness, fears suffering, performs good and bad actions, and experiences the fruits of both. The Jiva is the doer of these actions.
**Explanation:**
The text explains that the Jiva is the doer of actions, knowledge, and perception. This is because the Jiva is a conscious entity, and its actions are a result of its consciousness. The Pudgala, which is associated with the Jiva, is not the doer of actions. The Jiva is the doer of actions that arise from its consciousness, such as the desire for happiness, the fear of suffering, and the performance of actions that are perceived as beneficial or harmful. The Jiva is also the doer of actions that result from the fruits of good and bad karma, such as the enjoyment of pleasant and unpleasant objects, and the experience of happiness and suffering.
This text is important because it helps us to understand the nature of the Jiva and its relationship to the Pudgala. It also helps us to understand the nature of karma and its effects on the Jiva.
