Elaboration-In the fifth lesson of this chapter four alternatives have been mentioned in connection with exchange of food with coreligionist ascetics. There a normal ascetic resolves to serve an ailing ascetic and an ailing ascetic resolves to accept services of a normal ascetic. The four alternatives have been stated in that context. But here, with a special mention of the mutual exchange of service of food for the purpose of shedding of karmas and with the view of extending mutual co-operation, a fifth alternative has been added.
Acharya Shri Atmaram ji M. states—To do service to others, to accept service by others and to praise an ascetic doing service to others, these three feelings are extremely important in context of shedding of karmas, disciplining of desires, and mutual co-operation. An aspirant who does, causes others to do, and approves others doing such service, experiences a unique bliss and exhilaration. A wave of enthusiasm engulfs him. With the feeling of serving others the spiritual practices of an aspirant gain intensity and introversion.
(Acharanga, p. 610) In brief the six vows out of which a seeker chooses according to his inclination and ability, (mentioned in aphorism 228) are as follows
(1) I will bring food for other ascetics and also accept that brought by them.
(2) I will bring food for others but will not accept that brought by them. विमोक्ष : अष्टम अध्ययन
