________________ प्रवचनसार made of mango, tamarind and other ingredients has multiplicity of taste and smell, but, on the whole, it has one taste and one smell. Similarly, the disposition of equanimity (sāmyabhāva) or restraint (samyama) although has the Three Jewels, it is one whole, without parts. The one whole disposition of equanimity (sāmyabhāva) or restraint (samyama) is rid of all external substances. It manifests in the concentration (ekāgratā) of the ascetic (muni, śramaņa). It is the path to liberation. The description of the path to liberation as consisting in right faith (samyagdarśana), right knowledge (samyagjñāna) and right conduct (samyakcăritra) is from the empirical-point-of-view (vyavahāranaya). From the real-point-ofview (niscayanaya), the path to liberation is ‘one whole' disposition of equanimity (sāmyabhāva) or restraint (samyama). Every substance in the world can be seen as consisting of parts and as one whole. Viewing it as consisting of parts is the empirical-point-ofview (vyavahāranaya), and viewing it as one whole is the realpoint-of-view (niscayanaya). These two views constitute validknowledge (pramāņa). From the real-point-of-view (niscayanaya), the path to liberation is one – the disposition of equanimity (sāmyabhāva) or restraint (samyama). From the empirical-pointof-view (vyavahāranaya), the path to liberation is threefold - right faith (samyagdarśana), right knowledge (samyagjñāna) and right conduct (samyakcăritra), together. O worthy souls! Tread the path to liberation to attain infinite bliss and light in your soul. मुज्झदि वा रज्जदि वा दुस्सदि वा दव्वमण्णमासेज्न। Gif HH01 3700 TUN nusifa anafi falaefi 113-4311 मुह्यति वा रज्यति वा द्वेष्टि वा द्रव्यमन्यदासाद्य । ufa STHUSEIN ad affufalfast: 113-4311 ........................ 303
