MOKSHA MARG PRAKASHAK
3. Samudaya (combination), and 4. Marga (path).
There,the bodily form of mundane beings is Dukha (sorrow). It is of five kinds: Vijnana, Vedana, Sanjna, Samskara, Roop.
Knowing of Roop (colour) etc. is Vijnana (knowledge). The feeling of happiness and sorrow is Vedana (affliction); awakening from sleep is Sanjna (consciousness); memorising what was read is Sanskara (impression); formation of body is roopa. Describing the Vijnana (knowledge) etc. as sorrow is false. The sex-anger, etc. passions are sorrows, knowledge is not sorrow. It is evidently seen that someone has less knowledge but has more anger-greed, etc. passion, so he is unhappy; some other has more knowledge but has less or no sex-anger, etc. passions, so he is happy; hence, the Vijnana (knowledge) etc. are not the sorrows.
And Aayatanas are stated to be twelve :- Five senses and their five objects (the words etc.), the mind (mana) and Dharmaayatana (the abode of religion). What for are these Aayatanas described? When all are said to be momentary, what is then the purpose of all these?
And the combination of soul and passions (dispositions of soul) which produces further intense passions is called Samudaya. There the I-ness form is soul and mineness form is soul's disposition; but owing to believing everything momentary, there lie no purpose of describing these too.
And “all kinds of impressions (sanskaras) are momentary holding such feeling is the Marga (path). But things are evidently seen existing for a longer duration. You may argue that same condition (of an object) does never exist, so we too believe this. The subtle modification is momentary, i.e., exists for a moment only. Further, they the Buddhists believe the complete destruction of the same substance, but this is not seen happening; how can we believe? And in all young, old age, etc. conditions of the body the existence of only one soul is realised (perceived); if the soul is not the same one then how do you believe the one doer of the former and posterior
