THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
When a person looks upon other living beings from the real stand-point, he sees that as far as their pure nature and attributes are concerned they all are Perfect and Liberated Souls, and then he has no attachment for some and aversion to others. His thoughtactivities then remain perfectly even and tranquil.
A saint, working for the liberation of his soul, always tries not to be disturbed by any worldly objects animate or inanimate.
CHAPTER x. SUPREME DEVOTION (PARAMA BHAKTI). सम्मत्तणाणंचरणे जो भत्तिं कुणइ सावगो समणो। तस्स दुणिबुदिभत्ती होदि त्ति जिणेहि पएणत्तं ॥१३४॥ सम्यक्त्वज्ञानचरणेषु यो भक्तिं करोति श्रावकः श्रमणः । तस्य तु निवृत्तिभक्तिर्भवतीति जिनैः प्रज्ञप्तम् ॥ १३४ ॥
134. A saint or a layman, who entertains devotion for right belief, right knowledge and right conduct (is said) to have devotion leading to liberation. This has been said by the conquerors.
मोक्खंगयपुरिसाणं गुणभेदंजाणिऊण तेसिं पि। जो कुणदि परमभत्तिं ववहारणयेण परिकहियं ॥ १३५॥ मोक्षगतपुरुषाणां गुणभेदं ज्ञात्वा तेषामपि । यः करोति परमभक्तिं व्यवहारनयेन परिकथितम् ॥ १३५॥
135. He, who knowing the various attributes of the Liberated Soul entertains supreme devotion for them, is from practical point of view, said (to have devotion).
मोक्खपहे अप्पाणं ठविऊण व कुणदि णिब्बुदीभत्ती। तेण दु जीवो पावइ असहायगुणं णियप्पाणं ॥ १३६ ॥ मोक्षपथे आत्मानं संस्थाप्य च करोति निवृत्तेर्भक्तिम् । तेन तु जीवः प्रामोत्यसहायगुणं निजात्मानम् ॥ १३६ ॥
136. A saint, who keeping himself on the path of liberation entertains devotion leading to liberation, realises his soul, through it, as full of independent attributes.
