present Sútra, the causal relation between the possessiveness and violence has been established. The worldly disposition is the 'cause' and violence is the effect'.43 2.185 uddeso pasagassa natthi. The seer is not amenable to description. Bhasyam Sūtra 185 The person who can see the pitfall of possessiveness and the merits of nonpossessiveness does not need any description. By what an object is described is the 'description'. For example, this person is in worldly bondage', 'this person is liberated', 'this person is happy', 'this person is unhappy', and so on. For a person who has perfected the virtue of non-possessiveness and achieved the state of a pure indifferent seer, there is no need of description that indicates bondage or release. A seer is simply a seer. By dint of his pure seership, he is not subject to the states of bondage or release. A person who succumbs to temptation of possessions or worldly things is not worthy of being a seer. One who experiences pure consciousness only is a worthy seer.
Here the word 'description' stands for any qualification of the subject. In the concluding part (aphorism 87) of the third chapter, it has been asserted that'a seer has no qualification.' The word description should be construed with the word qualification for the purpose of interpretation. The person who experiences the states of happiness and misery caused by karma, acquires qualification,44 and to such person alone is the description applicable. The person who experiences pure consciousness has nothing to do with such description.45

Bhāșyam Sutra 186 The person who is not a seer is called an ignoramus though he may be aged or young, because he is ignorant and dominated by greed and ignorance. He indulges in enjoyments indiscriminately and is surfeited with-lust. He
