34 PURUSHARTH SIDDHYUPAYA. analloyed and unattached, nothing external can affect you prejudicially. This is a mistake ; there always is a possibility of fall, and all temptations should be avoided.
निश्चयमबुद्धयमानो यो निश्चयतस्तमेव संश्रयते । नाशयति करणचरणं स बहि करणालसो बाल : ॥५०॥
50. He who, ignorant of the full reality of things merely believes in the absolute, is a fool, and unmindful of external conduct, destroys his character as influenced by objects beside himself.
Word meunings:-fakat = the point of view of the ultimate reality of things; अबुद्धयमान = not knowing: यो = who; निश्चयत - absolutely; aÀT=in that (the absolute theory) alone ; pista - acts upon; Titia = destroys ; #tUatti = the rules of conduct; स= that ; वहिकरणालस = unmindful of the external rules of conduct; afa: = the ignorant.
Explanation.—The point of view froin which an object may be discussed and considered are many; but are principally two, Nischaya and V'yavalar. Nischaya is the absolute, and Vyavaliara, the relative point of view. For a complete understanding, a thing inust be looked at from all points of view, Leaning on a single view alone is error. Indulgence in mere theories, without regard to character is harmful and dangerous. It is not rarely that we see a scholar and a philosopher leading an immoral life, and not acting up to his own beliefs aud principles.
