No. III] KNOWLEDGE & CONDUOT IN JAINA SCRIPTURES
73
So in regard to the two groups, enemies and friends, pleasure and pain, praise and blame, clay and gold, life and death he is the
same.
Whoso being free from the infatuation, 'this one is strange to me, this one belongs to me; this is joy, this is a torment, this is an elevation to me, this is humiliation has not in regard to any thing the duality of attachment, and aversion, who continually experiences the self as having for nature pure faith and knowledge, who having appropriated enemies and friends, pleasure and pain, praise and blame, clay and gold, life and death indistinguishably, merely as knowables, immovably abides in the self, which has knowledge for self, truly possesses equanimity in every regard.
