________________ Atma-Siddhi 139 Eternal path of liberation stays the same in all the three times (past, present, and future). One should acquire noble behaviors, which inspire to the path of liberation. 37 एम विचारी अंतरे, शोधे सद्गुरुयोग। काम एक आत्मार्थ-, बीजो नहीं मन रोग।।३७|| अन्तरेवं समालोच्य शोधयेत् सद्गुरोर्युजिम्।। कार्यमात्मार्थमेकं तद् नापरा मानसी रुजा।।३७|| Thinking thus within the inner mind, one should find the association of a true teacher. The sole goal should be selfrealization and not other mental cravings. 38 कषायनी उपशांतता, मात्र मोक्षअभिलाष। भवे खेद, प्राणीदया, त्यां आत्मार्थनिवास।।३८।। उपशान्तिः कषायाणां निर्वाणे केवलं गृधिः। भवे खेदो दया सत्त्वे तत्राऽऽमार्थत्वसंगतिः ।।३८। Where vanquishing of desires is for the sole purpose of liberation, repentance is there for mundane existence, and true compassion exists, there is the abode of self-realization. 39 दशा न एवी ज्यां सुधी, जीव लहे नहीं जोग। मोक्षमार्ग पामे नहीं, मटे न अंतर रोग॥३९।। एतादशी दशां यावद् योग्यांजीवो लभेत न। मुक्तिमार्गे न प्राप्नोति तावश्वाऽस्त्यान्तरी रुजा ॥३९।। Where above conditions do not exist (as in Verse 38), one does not beget favorable soul conditions, path to liberation is not found, and inner cravings do not go away. आवे ज्यां एवी दशा, सद्गुरुबोध सुहाय। ते बोधे सुविचारणा, त्यां प्रगटे सुखदाय ।।४।। Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
