JAINISM AND BUDDHISM
“He, who believes in his own nature, knows it and acts up to it, is said to be soul, an embodiment of the three, belief, knowledge, and conduct."
Samayasära Kalasa by the same author. अचिन्त्य शक्तिः स्वयमेवदेवश्चिन्मात्र चिन्तामणिरेषयस्मात् । सर्वार्थसिद्धात्मतया विधत्ते शानी किमन्यस्य परिगृहेण ॥ Achintya saktih sva yameva devaśchin mâtra chin
tâmanireșa yasmât Sarvârtha siddhâtmataya vidhatta jnani Kiman
yasya parigrahena 1217. “ Because the self is itself God, having unthinkable power and the unrivalled gem of consciousness and because all the purpose is served by its realization, therefore there is no use in grasping anything else."
शानी करोति न न वेदयते च कर्म झानाति केवलमयं किलतत्स्वभावम् ।। जानन्परं करणवेदनयोरभावात् । शुद्धस्वभाव नियतः स हि मुक्त एव । Jnâni karoti na na vedayate cha karma jânáti
kevalama yam kila tatsvabhávam Jånanparam karana vedanayorabhaváchchuddha
svabhâua niyatah sa hi muktu eva 6/10. The one who knows neither performs nor enjoys any action. He only knows the nature of both, therefore not being the doer or enjoyer, but only knowing all else, he is fixed in his pure nature and is liberated in reality.
