I am the Soul own inanimate bhava. Jiva has nurtured the feelings of attachment etc. and brought harm to the pudgals, and transformed them into karma.
Indeed, the jiva too in its original form is in the form of anantajnana. The jiva neither has ajnana nor alpajnana. It is sarvajna, having infinite knowledge. But the karmas have come and enveloped this anantajnana of the jiva. As a result, the ability of the jiva to transform into infinite knowledge was harmed and the malaise of ajnana - ignorance developed in the jiva. That is when jiva began to abound in ignorance.
Thus, so long as jiva is with karma, it carries the badhyabadhaka feelings in it. The jiva harms the inanimate and the jada harms the jiva. But once the resident original form of moksa manifests in the jiva, when the anantajnana and anantadarshan of the jiva is uncovered, its avyabadha svarup – the unrestrained original form also appears. Now no power can harm the jiva. Neither does the jiva harm anybody.
Sri Guru says that such a completely pure original form is attainable only through the own dharma. “Your own anuntajnanu, your own anantadarshana and your own avyabadha svarup which is in the form of your original disposition, will appear'. To further explain the pure original form, Gurudev points out certain wonderful qualities of the atma and offers the last instruction – which we shall look at later.
