When the five-astīkāya (being) becomes extremely pure in its use, abandoning the consequences that follow the arising of the beginningless obscuring, then its fixed-quality-transformation, which is attained due to the oneness of the essence, is its own time, that is, its own conduct.
Now, if, in reality, the being, by manifesting the light of right knowledge, abandons its other time and embraces its own time, then it is certainly freed from the bondage of karma. Therefore, in reality, being fixed in the nature of the being, conduct, and the path of liberation is the way.
**Commentary:**
It is said that because the destruction of karma occurs by embracing one's own time, therefore, conduct that is fixed in the nature of the being is the path of liberation. The being is certainly fixed in its nature, but due to the influence of other factors, it becomes involved in other-time, which is the transformation of non-fixed qualities.
For example, the being, by its pure nature, is inherently pure in knowledge and perception. However, in practice, due to the arising of beginningless obscuring karma, which is opposed to the attainment of the pure self free from obscurations, it undergoes transformation into the categories of perception, knowledge, and other qualities, such as the categories of human, hell, etc., and becomes attached to other-time and other conduct.
But when, through the arising of the pure light of discrimination, it experiences the supreme self, which is the characteristic of supreme knowledge, and contemplates its own nature as pure and enlightened, then it becomes attached to its own time and its own conduct.
If it does its own time, then it is freed from the bondage of karma. Then, it is freed from the bondage, which is opposed to liberation, which is the manifestation of infinite qualities, such as perfect knowledge. Therefore, it is understood that conduct that is fixed in the nature of the being, which is characterized by one's own time, is the path of liberation.
This verse indicates the difference between one's own time and other-time.
