Pravacanasāra
Explanatory Note: The Words of the Omniscient Lord are the sharp sword by which one can demolish one's enemies – delusion (moha), attachment (rāga), and aversion (dveşa). Only that man who, having grasped the Words of the Omniscient Lord, makes concerted effort to demolish these enemies succeeds in attaining the state of happiness that is rid of all miseries. Having understood this, I am ever watchful and make all-out effort to demolish my enemies.
णाणप्पगमप्पाणं परं च दव्वत्तणाहि संबद्धं । जाणदि जदि णिच्छयदो जो सो मोहक्खयं कुणदि ॥1-89॥
ज्ञानात्मकमात्मानं परं च द्रव्यत्वेनाभिसंबद्धम् । जानाति यदि निश्चयतो यः स मोहक्षयं करोति ॥1-89॥
सामान्यार्थ - [यः] जो जीव [यदि] यदि [निश्चयतः] निश्चय से [ ज्ञानात्मकं] ज्ञानस्वरूप [आत्मानं] परमात्मा को [ द्रव्यत्वेन ] अपने द्रव्य स्वरूप से [ अभिसंबद्धं] संयुक्त [जानाति ] जानता है [च] और [ परं] पर अर्थात् पुद्गलादि अचेतन को जड़-स्वरूपकर अपने आत्मा से भिन्न अचेतन द्रव्य स्वरूप संयुक्त जानता है [ सः] वह जीव [ मोहक्षयं] मोह का क्षय [ करोति ] करता है।
The man who knows, with certainty, that he (his soul) is a substance (dravya) established in own knowledge-nature, and all external substances are similarly established in their own nature, destroys delusion (moha).
Explanatory Note: Consciousness (cetanatva) characterizes the substance (dravya) of the soul (jiva) and non-consciousness
