मोक्षमार्ग प्रपंच सूचिका चूलिका भावार्थ-जो शास्त्रका ज्ञाता होता है उसको छः लाभ होते हैं- (१) आत्महितमें श्रद्धा जमती है (२) आश्रव भावका संवर होता है (३) नवीन-नवीन धर्मानुरोग बढ़ता है (४) कंपरहित परिणाम होता है (५) तप साधनकी भावना होती है (६) परको उपदेश दे सकता है।
३-मूलगुण व उत्तरगुणोंके पालनके सम्बन्धमें भयरहित वर्तन करना सो सत्त्वभावना है । इसका फल यह है कि घोर उपसर्ग व परीषहके पड़नेपर भी निर्भय होकर उत्साह पूर्वक मोक्षका साधन पांडवों आदिकी तरह होता है ।
४-अपने आत्माको एक रूप अकेला विचार करना सो एकत्वभावना है जैसा इस गाथामें कहा हैएगो में सस्सदो अप्पा णाणदंसणलक्खणो । सेसा मे बहिरा भावा सव्वे संजोगलक्खणा ।
भावार्थ-मेरा आत्मा एक अकेला, अविनाशी, ज्ञानदर्शन लक्षणका धारी है । इसके सिवाय जितने सर्व भाव परके संयोगसे होते हैं वे मुझसे बाहरके भाव हैं।
इस एकत्वभावनाका फल यह है कि स्वजन तथा परजनोंमें मोह न रहे, जैसा कहा
भगिनीं विडंबमानां यथा विलोक्यैकभावनाचतुरः । जिनकल्पितो न मूढः क्षपकोपि तथा न मुहोत् ।
भावार्थ--जो एकत्व भावनामें चतुर होता है वह अपने बहिनकी विडंबनाको देखकर भी मोह नहीं करता है वैसे जिनकल्पी साधु भी मोह नहीं करता है।
५-मान तथा अपमानमें समताभावके बलसे भोजनपान आदिमें जो कुछ लाभ हो उसमें संतोष रखना सो संतोषभावना है। इसका फल यह है कि रागादिक उपाधिसे रहित परमानंदमय आत्मिक सुख में तृप्ति पानेसे निदान बंध आदि विषयोंके सुखसे चित्तका हट जाना।
४-गणपोषणके पीछे आत्माकी भावनाके संस्कारको चाहनेवाला अपने गणको छोड़कर दूसरे गण या मुनिसंघमें जाकर रहता है सो आत्मसंस्कार काल है ।
५-आत्मसंस्कारके पीछे आचार आराधना ग्रन्थमें कहे प्रमाण द्रव्य तथा भाव सल्लेखना करता है व सल्लेखनाकाल है।
६-सल्लेखनाके पीछे चार प्रकार आराधनाकी भावनाके द्वारा समाधिकी विधिसे कालको पूर्ण करता है सो उत्तमार्थकाल है।

## The Path to Liberation: A Guide to Jain Principles

**Index of Concepts and Their Meanings**

**1. Understanding the Scriptures:** A person who understands the scriptures gains six benefits:

(1) **Faith in Self-Benefit:** They develop strong faith in the benefits of following the path.
(2) **Control of Inflows:** They control the influx of karmic matter.
(3) **Growth in Dharma:** They continuously grow in their adherence to the principles of Dharma.
(4) **Effortless Results:** They achieve their goals effortlessly.
(5) **Desire for Austerity:** They develop a strong desire to practice austerities.
(6) **Ability to Teach Others:** They become capable of teaching others.

**2. Fearless Conduct:** Fearless conduct in upholding the fundamental and secondary virtues is known as **Sattva-Bhavana**. This leads to unwavering courage and enthusiasm in pursuing liberation, even in the face of severe hardships and trials, like the Pandavas.

**3. Oneness with the Soul:** Recognizing the soul as a singular, eternal entity, characterized by knowledge and perception, is **Ekatva-Bhavana**. As stated in the scripture:

"My soul is one, alone, imperishable, possessing the qualities of knowledge and perception. All other experiences, arising from external connections, are external to me."

This leads to detachment from both loved ones and strangers, as stated:

"Just as a wise person, possessing Ekatva-Bhavana, does not become attached even when witnessing the mockery of his sister, so too, a Jina-follower does not become attached."

**4. Contentment:** Maintaining equanimity in the face of praise and blame, and finding contentment in whatever benefits one receives, such as food and drink, is **Santasha-Bhavana**. This leads to liberation from the cycle of birth and death, as it allows one to experience the supreme bliss of the soul, free from the attachments of worldly pleasures.

**5. Self-Transformation:** A person who desires to transform their soul through the practice of **Gana-Poshana** (nurturing the community) may leave their current group and join another group or monastic order. This is known as **Atma-Sanskara-Kala** (the time of self-transformation).

**6. Self-Discipline:** During **Atma-Sanskara-Kala**, one practices self-discipline through adherence to the principles outlined in the scriptures, including the practice of **Sallekhana** (voluntary fasting unto death). This is known as **Sallekhana-Kala** (the time of self-discipline).

**7. Ultimate Goal:** After **Sallekhana**, one completes the final stage of their journey through meditation and other practices, guided by the four types of **Aradhana** (worship). This is known as **Uttam-Artha-Kala** (the time of the ultimate goal).
