________________ "Even when engaged in any activity, a person is not tainted by it, if he is equanimous, pure, self-conquerer of self, subduer of the senses, and identified with the self of all other beings."38 2.181 se mehāvi anugghāyaṇassa kheyanne, je ya bamdhappamokkhamannesi. The monk who is in search of liberation from bondage is intelligent and the realizer of the secret of non-injury. Bhaoyam Sutra 1 8 1 The wise man who is in search of the release from karmic bondage acquires knowledge of non-injury. “Injury means violence. 'Non-injury is nonviolence. There is karmic bondage due to violence. And therefore, for the release from bondage, the knowledge of non-violence and also nonpossessiveness which is the condition of the non-violence is indispensable. In the Curni, the explanation of the word 'anugghayana'is given differently: anam” means karma; its udghatanam means production (utpadanam). The wise man knows the cause of production of karma. 2.182 kusale puņa no baddhe, no mukke. The adept is neither bound nor unbound. Bhäșyam Sutra 182 In investigating the problem of liberation from bondage, the curiosity naturally arises: ''Is the release from bondage possible in this world fraught with possessiveness and violence? In reply the Sūtra says: The adept is the person who is guided by all pervasive power of comprehension.'' He is also called the liberated in embodied existence.41 Even while living in this world, he is not bound by any sort of attachment to worldly things, that leads to karmic bondage. He is however not released from the bare necessities of life. 42 While engaged in activities with full self-awareness, he does not produce any kind of bondage, even though he is not disengaged from all activities. In the Curniand the Vștti, other explanations are also available: 1. The wise man is not bound by unwholesome tendencies such as nonabstinence. He is not devoid of wholesome tendencies such as good conduct and penance. 74 0 - TAU 251 31 127 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
