The chapter on Nirjara, the main topic of the second major chapter on the path to liberation and the nine substances, is concluded in the eighth chapter of the Yoga section.
**General Meaning with Anvaya:**
"The one who does not have (vijjati) attachment (rago), aversion (doso), delusion (moho), and the actions of mind, speech, and body (jonaparikammo) within them (tassa), that one (jassa) has (jayae) the fire of meditation (jhanamo) that burns (suhasuhadhano) both good and bad emotions (agani) within them."
**Specific Meaning:**
The result of attachment, aversion, and delusion is distinct from the pure soul, which is free from the entanglement of attachment (mamata) in the form of choices arising from the emergence of karma, and is free from delusion, and is filled with qualities like experience. The result of actions of mind, speech, and body is called the result of yoga, which is opposite to the supreme soul, which is free from the actions of good and bad karma, and is filled with the knowledge that is the culmination of pure consciousness. The one who has neither attachment, aversion, delusion, nor the actions of yoga is the meditator. This is said to be the main material for meditation. Now, the characteristics of meditation are described. The fire of meditation is that which is strong enough to burn the fuel of good and bad karma. The yogi who has this fire of meditation within them will be fulfilled by the wonder of pure consciousness, free from defilement and action. Just as a small fire can burn a large pile of grass and wood in a short time, so too, the fire of meditation, which is the experience of the unshakeable soul, fueled by the great power of renunciation of false views, passions, and other obstacles, and nourished by the nectar of supreme bliss, which is unprecedented and wonderful, burns the pile of karma, which is of many forms due to the differences in the root and the subsequent nature, in an instant.
**Student's Objection and Acharya's Response:**
Here, the student says, "Meditation cannot happen in this fifth time period, because there are neither the Shruta-knowing men who have the ten previous and fourteen previous vows, nor the first unification." The Acharya resolves this doubt by saying, "There is no white meditation in this fifth time period, as Shri Kundakunda Acharya himself has said in the Mokshapahuḍ. In this fifth time period of suffering in the Bharat Kshetra, the right faith meditation can happen for the right faith knowing one, and it happens for the one who knows the nature of the soul. The one who does not believe this is ignorant. Even now, one can attain the state of Indra and the state of worldly gods by meditating on the soul, keeping the mind, speech, and body pure. From there, one can go to liberation."
