Appendix IV : śrīmad's Ātma-siddhi śāstra Jo cetana karatuni nathi, nathĩ thatāni to karma; Tethi sahaja svabhāva nahi, tema ja nahi jīvadharma. 75
In any way if soul is still, No bondage it acquires ever; It's thus no nature's work so ill, Nor character of soul's own power. 75
केवळ होत असंग जो, भासत तने न केम ? ।
असंग छे परमार्थथी, पण निजभाने तेम ॥७६॥ Kevala hota asariga jo, bhāsata tane na kema? Asariga che paramārthathi, pana nija bhāne tema. 76
If soul is so bondageless quite, To you it appears not why? Unalloyed is soul, that's right, To one who knows his self, else dry. 76
कर्ता ईश्वर कोई नहि, ईश्वर शुद्ध स्वभाव ।
अथवा प्रेरक ते गण्ये, ईश्वर दोष-प्रभाव ॥७७॥ Karttā īśvara koi nahi, i svara suddha svabhāva; Athavā preraka te ganye, isvara dosa-prabhāva. 77
God does not bind, nor helps creation, Perfection (purity) of the soul is God; If He instigates, where's perfection ? Nothing He does, such is the Lord. 77
