MOKSHA MARG PRAKASHAK
one does not get the external things as per his desire, then due to increase in passions, perturbedness increases and he feels unhappy. This is the reality; but he believes that happiness-sorrow are caused to him due to the instrumentality of other substances. Such understanding is delusion only. Therefore, one should know that in mundane existence, the Jivas feel happy due to somewhat decrease in passions and believes it to be beneficial, then, where on total destruction of passions and causes thereof, infinite bliss is attained due to evolution of supreme unperturbedness, how then such state of liberation be not believed to be the weal of the soul?
Further, in mundane existence, even if one acquires a high status, then also either the perturbedness of gathering articles of carnal pleasures is caused or the perturbedness of enjoying the carnal pleasures persists, or if due to some other passion like anger, etc., some desire is evolved, then the perturbedness of fulfilling it is caused; never does he become totally unperturbed. Internally, several types of perturbedness are found existing. And if one makes external effort for ending perturbedness, then firstly, this objective is not accomplished; and if due to destiny that objective gets fulfilled then immediately he busies himself in making effort for mitigating some other perturbedness. Thus perturbedness of mitigating perturbedness continues incessantly.Ifthis sort of perturbedness be not there, then why does he indulge in the newer-newer types of acts of sensual pleasures, etc.? Therefore, in the mundane existence, due to rise of Punya karmas, if someone attains the rank of IndraAhmindra, etc., even then, imperturbedness is not evolved and he remains miserable only. Therefore, in no way mundane existence is beneficial.
And in the state of liberation, none of the types of perturbedness exists, therefore, the purpose of making effort for ending perturbedness is not found there; the liberated souls (Siddha Gods) always remain blissful by the spiritually evolved quietude; therefore, the state of liberation only is beneficial. Earlier also the detailed description of the sorrows & miseries of mundane existence and bliss of liberated state has been given, that too has been given with this very purpose. Pondering over that too, believing liberation to be the weal of the soul, one should make effort for liberation. The purpose
of all preachings is this much only. Jain Education International
