Meaning: Just as all the activities of a lamp are nothing but the various manifestations of light, the activities of the soul, not done with or for the objects other than the soul in view are but various manifestations of consciousness. Monkhood of this type is excellent. (8) [104]
Jain Education International
Notes The lamp sheds its light above, below and around. The light becomes weak or strong on occasions; but the light is thrown by the lamp, no doubt. In the same way if the monk puts his monkhood to use with regard to soul only, and not with regard to the non-soul; his monkhood is supreme, superior. (8) [104]
