they are detached, practise penance, self-restraint and are observer of celibacy.
The Lord answered : 'O noble ones! you should know that the ailments and the self-restraint are governed by different causes.'
'We want to know about those causes, O Lord!'
The Lord said: “the tranquilization of the conduct-deluding karma is the cause of self-restraint, whereas the rise of the sensation karma is the cause of ailments; the latter is possible for the omniscient too; one should therefore properly tolerate the sufferings caused by those ailments. 5.29 se puvvam peyam pacchā peyam bheura-dhammam,
viddhamsaņadhammam, adhuvam, aạitiyam, asāsayam cayāvacaiyam, vipariņāmadhammam, pāsaha eyam rūvam. Look! this body was in the past and will also be in the future remain fragile, subject to decay, unstable, transient, non
eternal, waxing and waning, changing in nature. Bhagyam Sutra 29
This Sūtra gives the basic principle of tolerance. According to this principle, the pain caused by ailments is to be tolerated. Look at this material body.25 It was subject to decomposition in the past26 and will remain so in the future. The implication is that the decomposition takes place automatically. This body is perishable like a dilapilated cart. It is unstable, impermanent, non-eternal, subject to growth and decay, and subject to change. This body is nourished by rich diet and decays in the absense of such food. The body grows upto the fortieth year and starts decaying thereafter. This is the reason why it is described as subject to growth and decay. The body is subject to change because it passes through various transformation through the states of foetus, childhood, youth, etc. 5.30 samdhim samuppehamāṇassa egāyatana-rayassa iha vippamukkassa, natthi magge virayassa tti bemi.
