Bhasyam Sutras 30, 31
There are two reasons for reversion to householder's life: intellectual dullness and the veil of delusion. The dull and the person stupefied by delusion revert from the life of discipline, even after treading the marvellous path. Owing to the dullness of intellect, the downfall from sprituality is not comprehended.
This is responsible for a redoubled passion-attachment. Even in delusion, when the power of though predominates, suppression of the delusion becomes easy.
The wake up for practising the marvellous discipline starts with the resolution: I shall divest myself of the possessions. But those who do not fulfil the vow of non-possession fall victim to the sway of sensual objects. They dot not strive for crossing to the other shore. The sutra stresses the co-existence fo possessiveness and the sensual desire.
2.32 aṇāṇãe munino padilehamti
The monks not following the commandment look for the sensual objects. Bhasyam Sutra 32
The monks who are outside the commandment do not delight in the self nor do they follow the injuction of the adorable. They divert their mind to sensual enjoyment.
2.33 ettha mohe puno-puno saņṇā.
Such people are bogged down in delusion again and again.
Bhāṣyam Sutra 33
The delusion of sensual attachment is produced in those whose mind is addicted to sensual enjoyment, constantly recollecting the past pleasurable experiences. Infatuated by delusion they are engrossed and immersed in it.''3
2.34 no havvãe no pārāe.
They are neither on this shore nor on the other.
Bhāṣyam Sutra 34
According to the Curni, 'this shore means householder's life and the other shore the life of self-restraint'.
Such people, deeply immersed in the mud of delusion, are neither householders nor monks. Like the elephant bogged down in mud, they cannot cross back to this shore not forward to the other.
2.35 vimukkä hu te jaņā. je jaṇā pāragāmiņo.
Liberated indeed are those who have crossed to the other shore.
