________________ Samādhitantram Ācārya Kundakunda’s Samayasāra: जीवो चरित्तदंसणणाणट्ठिदो तं हि ससमयं जाणे । पोंग्गलकम्मपदेसट्ठिदं च तं जाण परसमयं ॥ (१-२-२) Know that the jīva (soul) that rests on pure faith, knowledge, and conduct, alone is the Real Self. The one conditioned by the karmic matter is to be known as the impure self. Note: The souls that rest on the pure self are the Real Self. Only the Arhat and the Siddha are the Real Self. All other souls, up to the spiritual stage of destroyed delusion (kṣīņa-kaṣāya), are other than the Real Self. Acārya Kundakunda's Rayanasāra: मॉक्खगईगमणकारणभूयाणि पसत्थपुण्णहेऊणी । ताणि हवे दुविहप्पा वत्थुसरूवाणि भावाणि ॥ (१४३) Dispositions, concerning the nature of reality, of two kinds of souls - the introverted-soul (antarātmā) and the pure-soul (paramātmā)-lead to propitious merit (punya) that makes possible the attainment of liberation. बहिरंतरप्पभेयं परसमयं भण्णए जिणिंदेहिं । परमप्पा सगसमयं तब्भेयं जाण गुणट्ठाणे ॥ (१४५) The Omniscient Lord has called both, the extroverted-soul (bahirātmā) and the introverted-soul (antarātmā), as the impure self (parasamaya), and the pure-soul (paramātmā) as the Real Self (svasamaya). Know their classification concerning the fourteen stages of spiritual development (gunasthāna). ........................ 166
