________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha knowledge (jnana) and perception (darsana) since these are one (ananya) with it. Knowledge (jnana) and perception (darsana) are inseparable from the soul's attribute of consciousness (cetana). Right conduct (samyakcaritra) is characterized by right faith (samyagdarsana) and right knowledge (samyagjnana). It is rid of all imperfections due to attachment (raga), etc. Such conduct is the path to liberation. The worldly souls (jiva) have two kinds of conduct (caritra): 1) based on the soul itself-svacaritra or svasamaya, and 2) based on the others - paracaritra or parasamaya. When established in soul's own nature of knowledge (jnana) and perception (darsana), the conduct (caritra) is based on the soul itself-svacaritra or svasamaya. When conditioned by the nature of the others, the conduct (caritra) is based on the others - paracaritra or parasamaya. The conduct (caritra) that is based on the soul itself - svacaritra or svasamaya - is rid of imperfections like attachment (raga), and constitutes the real path to liberation (moksa). Acarya Kundakunda's Samayasara: जीवो चरित्तदंसणणाणठिदो तं हि ससमयं जाणे / पोंग्गलकम्मपदेसट्ठिदं च तं जाण परसमयं // 1-2-2 // जो जीव शुद्ध दर्शन-ज्ञान-चारित्र में स्थित है, उसे निश्चय से स्वसमय जानो। और जो जीव पौद्गलिक कर्मप्रदेशों में स्थित है, उसको परसमय जानो। विशेष - जो जीव शुद्ध आत्माश्रित हैं, वे स्वसमय कहलाते हैं। अरिहन्त और सिद्ध ही स्वसमय हैं, क्षीणमोह गुणस्थान तक जीव परसमय है। Know that the soul (jiva) that rests on pure faith, knowledge, and conduct, is certainly the Real Self - svasamaya. The soul that rests in the space-points (pradesa) of the karmic matter is to be known as other than the Real Self - parasamaya. Note: The souls that rest on the pure self are called the Real Self. Only the Arhat and the Siddha are the Real Self. All other souls, up to the spiritual stage of 'destroyed delusion' (ksinamoha) are other than the Real Self. @ @ . . . . . . . . . . 294
