________________ 12 Vol. II/No. 2. Eternal Wisdom all Dhyanas)! I have to be full of Maitri (HS11 - sympathy and friendliness) to all creatures, and in such a state where is room for raga (TP - attachment) towards my son, and dwesha (au - aversion) for my ministers! Oh! Oh! I have done a great wrong! I am disgusted by it, and I deprecate it with all my heart! And I shall, and I am removing from my Atma such dastardly thoughts !" So, O king, when he was at this point of such a chain of thoughts, you came and asked me your second question and had he passed away at that moment, he would be born as a Deva in the heaven known as Sarwartha Siddha Wiman." " Moreover, the purity of this chain of thoughts continued to increase. The successive links in this chain led to holier and holier thoughts......till very shortly they reached their most - intense stage ! Hence all the four Ghati Karmas (arct 9 - namely Gnanawaraniya - raracuity, Darshanawarniya -patatapulta, Mohaniya - मोहनीय and Antaraya - अन्तराय. These four are the harmful covering (311700) upon the pure Atma and hence are called Ghati. ) were destroyed, and so he has come to the condition of Kewalgnana whereby he can see all the substances of the whole universe exactly as they have been, as they are and as they shall be !" "So, o king, this shows that : 77 99 HTTI Tui Muhtaat: - The State of one's mind ( OfT/HT) is the prime cause of the formation and the destruction of Karmas."* So be always full of holy thoughts. Those who try to cultivate the holy thoughts shall, without fail, reach the beautitude that is Moksha (187)." * No doubt the readers will find the same echo in Shakespeare: "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so" (Hemlet II.2)
