PATII OF LIRERATION
91
(233) A person who has no longing for the fruits of Karmas and for all objects or any of the properties of a thing is possessed of Right Faith, with a mind free from any longing.
(234) He who desires no honour, no worship, no salutation even, how will he desire praise? He who has self-control, observes the vows correctly, practises penance and seeks to know the true nature of the soul is the real monk.
(235) Oh monk, if you desire that bliss of the other world, why do you hanker after fame, worship, enjoyment and honour in this world? Of what use are they to you in the next world?
(236) He who does not exhibit contempt or disgust towards any of the things, is said to be the right believer without any contempt or disgust.
(237) He who is completely devoid of delusion as to the nature of things is certainly understood to be the non-deluded right-believer.
