________________ ८४ હૃદયપ્રદીપ થયે સંતોષ વાળવો, તપ કરવા માંડવું કે સાથે જ ક્ષમાની વૃદ્ધિ કરવી અને કળા પ્રાપ્ત થાય કે તેમાં અપ્રમાદી રહેવું આ ખાસ કર્તવ્ય છે. Explanation - This verse directly points to the fruits of cultivating virtues for 'self-pleasure'. Such virtues lead to perpetual inner calm and peace of mind. All worldly possessions like endless wealth and vast kingdoms; artistic accomplishments and spiritual attainments like great penance have some value or validity as means to true joy, only when one has peace of mind.
