COMMENTARY
It is the law of the State that the criminal should be detected and punished, Hence the criminal who commits theft always moves in society with a guilty conscience and ultimately he may get arrested, punished and imprisoned. Whereas a person who lives in society honourably without coveting others' property always moves about freely without fear of being arrested. The same analogy holds good in the case of Self. The Self which commits the mistake of claiming alien characteristics as his own is bound to face the consequences thereof-that is, karmic bondage. Whereas the Self that disowns all such impure states as alien has the privilege of remaining free from bondage.

Next the author explains the term aparādha or guilt. संसिद्धिरासिद्धं साधियमाराधियं च एयटुं ।
अवगयराधो जो खलु चेया सो होइ भवराहो ॥ ३०४॥

अपगतराधो यः खलु चेतयिता स भवत्यपराधः ॥ ३०४ ॥
304. Samsiddhi (attainment), rādha (devotion to Self) sidhi (fulfilment), sadbitam (achievement), äradhitam (adoration), are synonymous. When the soul is devoid of devotion to Pure Self, then he is certainly guilty.
जो पुण णिरवराहो चेया णिस्संकिओ उ सो होइ । आराहणाए णिचं वट्टइ अहमिदि जाणतो ॥ ३०५ ॥ jo puna niravaraho ceya nissaṁkio u so hoi. ārāhaṇāe niccam vaṭṭai ahamidi jāņaṁto (305) a: gaffkızıazðafuar fazzifmatg a nafa | आराधना नित्यं वर्तते अहमिति जानन् ॥ ३०५ ॥
305. When the soul is free from guilt, he is also free from fear. Thus realising the ego, he is ever engaged in adoration of the Self.
