GREAT HYMN OF OBEISANCE: A CONTEMPLATION
of one's own soul Bhagwan, it is devotion towards one's own soul Bhagwan, it is going to the shelter of one's own soul Bhagwan.

In this manner, it has been determined that the state of incessant self-meditation is the worship of 'soul state' and to enter into the state of self-meditation sometimes is the worship of 'devotee state'.
The aspirants of the welfare of the soul must daily worship one's own soul Bhagwan only, whether they worship 'soul state' or 'devotee state'.
This worship of one's own soul Bhagwan is going to the shelter of the soul. In the above verse, Acharya Kundkund has expressed the same feeling.
The above verses are 104th and 105th verses of 'Mokshapahud' and immediately prior to it, in 103rd verse, Acharya says -
णविएहिं जं णविजई झाइजर झाइएहिं अणवरयं । श्रुत्वंहिं थुणिज्जई देहत्थं कि पि तं मुणह ।।
Naviyahim jam navijavei jhaejavei jhaeahim anvarium, thutvantehim thunijavei dehetham ki pi tam munha.
Oh potential souls! Those, whom the entire world pays obeisance, you should also pay obeisance, those, whom the entire world worships, you should also worship; those, on whom the entire world focuses meditation you should also meditate on them - know such soul Bhagwan that resides in the body, like temple."
This soul Bhagwan alone, which is venerable even by venerable persons, worth worshipping even by persons worth worshipping, goal even of the persons worthy of being goal, is worth taking shelter. Knowing this only, there has been the talk of going to the shelter of the soul.
In this stanza, inspiration has been imparted to go to the shelter of that soul Bhagwan whose shelter has been sought even by esteemed 'panch permeshti'. Acharya Bhagwan has directed that one should know and recognise that alone (soul) and the divine voice of the omniscient Lord has preached that one should get engrossed in it, revel in it.
This fact is the essence of the divine voice in the form of

'Dwadshang', this is the saying that sums up one lakh sayings and this also is the essence of one crore treatises.
As has been said in the following lines -
लाख बात की बात यहै निश्चय उर लाओ । तोरि सकल जग दन्द-फन्द निज आतम ध्याओ ।। कोटि ग्रंथ को सार यही है ये ही जिनवाणी उचरो है।
दौल ध्याय अपने आतम को मुक्ति रमा तोय वैग वरै है ।। Lakh bat ki bat yehe nischaya ur lao, tori sakal jag dand fand nij atam dhyao.' Koti granth ko sar yehi hai ye hi jinvani uchro hai, daul dhyaye apne atam ko mukti rama toya veg vare hai.

It has been mentioned in the most clear terms that it is of no use to talk a lot, the saying that sums up one lakh sayings is that abandon the worldly enmity and tricks and meditate on one's own soul Bhagwan only.
In the above line it has been mentioned in a different way that excepting the meditation of the soul, everything is all enmity, tricks.
This is also the essence of one crore treatises and this has also appeared in the entire Jinvani like this; 'do undertake meditation of the soul' has been mentioned in entire 'Jinagama'. In case you are able to do so, the girl like liberation would very soon get engaged to you, would garland you with the wedding garland.
For acquiring the girl like liberation, it is not necessary to meditate on the girl like liberation, you should meditate on the self. Make one's own soul Bhagwan worth knowing, make it the goal of the meditation; the girl like liberation would herself approach you and select you and place the wedding garland in your neck.
The girl like liberation does not select the one who meditates on her, but selects the one who meditates on one's own soul Bhagwan. She gets attracted towards those who get attracted towards the soul.
