I am the Soul
कर्म मोहनीय भेद बे दर्शन-चारित्र नाम . . .
षट् पदनां षट् प्रश्न ते . . . Beginning with the infinite and coming to the smallest number, he has very ably demonstrated Ganitanuyoga.
4. Charangkarananuyoga - Performance is the tremendous self-effort of the jiva. The attainment of moksa is dependent on it. Therefore performance is a very important angle. In the commencement of Atmasiddhi Shastra and while establishing the ultimate state as the means for moksa, Srimadji has told in many ways as to what is the duty of the jiva. The tremendous effort in pursuit of moksa begins with detachment, so he says -
त्याग विराग न चित्तमां . . .
The imperative necessity for a jiva in pursuit to seek refuge at the feet of a Sadguru –
प्रत्यक्ष सद् गुरु सम नहि . . . गुरु रह्यां छद्मस्थ पण विनय करे भगवान . . . त्रणे योग एकत्वथी वर्ते आज्ञा धार . . .
सद् गुरु वैद्य सुजाण . . . The state of the soul and the means to attain it -
कषायनी उपशांतता . . . छूटे देहाध्यास तो ... वर्ते निज स्वभावनो अनुभव लक्ष प्रतीत . . .
सर्व जीव छे सिद्ध सम . . . and at the end the offering of salutation at the feet of the sage in a state beyond the body -
देह छतां जेनी दशा वर्ते देहातीत . . .
