7 - THE SUPREME CONFESSION (INTROSPECTION)
The nature of the pure soul (ātmā) – when the karmic dirt has been destroyed – is the cause-soul (kāraṇa samaya). The destruction of karmas takes place by meditating on such a pure soul (ātmā); hence, the cause-soul (kārana samaya) is worth meditating on.1
The ascetic establishes his soul (ātmā) in soul's own-nature and sees only the soul; he sees the cause-soul (kāraṇa samaya) and experiences it. He is thus engaged in ālocana, i.e., ever vigilant of faults.
