Bhāoyam Sūtra 82 The succeeding weapon is deadlier than the preceding one. It is quite evident that the atomic weapons are deadlier than the weapons of the stone-age. There is uniformity or identity in the case of non-weapons, there being no gradation. In the present context, 'weapon' stands for passion, that has degree of intensity," rising upto infinity. This explains the types of passions, such as the one causing endless transmigration, and the like with gradual diminition of intensity. Non-weapon means non-passions, that is, self-restraint or equanimity.
The attitude of non-violence cannot be mild towards some creatures, intense, towards others, or more intense, or of higher and highest intensity to others. But the attitude of non-violence is uniform towards all creatures, there being no degrees of it. The implication is, whatever disparity there is, is due to the passions. The development of the weapons is also due to the passions. So long as there is no subsidence or elimination of it, it is futile to talk of mental peace or world-peace.18 . 3.83 je kohadaņsī se māņadaņsī, je māņadamsi se māyadaņsi.

He who sees anger sees pride, he who sees pride sees deceit; he who sees deceit sees greed, he who sees greed sees love; he who sees love sees hatred; he who sees hatred sees delusion; he who sees delusion sees (conception in) the womb; he who sees conception sees the birth; he who sees the birth sees hell; he who sees the hell sees animal life; he who sees the animal life sees suffering. Bhāsyam Sūtra 83 Previously, in the Sūtra 77, the “Comprehension of the suffering of the world” was mentioned. In the present Sutra the basic causes of suffering are explained. In the previous Sutra, the gradation of weapons was simply indicated. But here the weapon is demonstrated in a direct manner.
