अविकृतिकरण का स्वरूप - Meaning of removal of perversions (avikstikaraņa) – कम्मादो अप्पाणं भिण्णं भावेइ विमलगुणणिलयं । मज्झत्थभावणाए वियडीकरणं ति विण्णेयं ॥१११॥
जो (जीव) मध्यस्थ-भावना में कर्म से भिन्न तथा निर्मल गुणों के निवास-स्वरूप आत्मा को भाता है, उसे अविकृतिकरण जानना चाहिये।
The one who, with-equanimity (madhyastha-bhāva), meditates on his soul that is utterly distinct from karmas and is the abode of pristine qualities (guņa), should be known as avikytikaraņa - removal of perversions.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
That ascetic (muni, śramaņa) represents pure-cognition (śuddhopayoga) who has right faith and knowledge about the nature of the Self and, shunning everything other than the Self, establishes himself in the Self. He achieves this state through the power of self-restraint (samyama) and austerity (tapa). Devoid of all attachment (rāga), he has no concern for anything other than the Self. He does not entertain dispositions of either like or dislike for the objects of the senses. 1
Since pure-cognition (śuddhopayoga), with-equanimity (madhyasthabhāva) as its hallmark, treats karmas as utterly distinct from the soul and concentrates only on its pristine and indestructible qualities (guņa), it is called avikytikaraṇa-removal of perversions.
