SAMAYASARA
जम्हा जहित्तु लिंगे सागारणगारएहि वा गहिए । दंसणणाणचरिते अप्पाणं जुंज मोक्खपहे ॥४११॥ jamha jahittu limge sagaraṇagāraehim va gahie damsaṇaṇāṇacaritte appānam jumja mokkhapahe (411) यस्मात् जहित्वा लिङ्गानि सागारैरनगारिकैर्वा गृहीतानि । दर्शनज्ञानचारित्रे आत्मानं युङ्क्ष्व मोक्षपथे ॥ ४११ ॥
411. Therefore, giving up the insignia adopted by householders and the homeless ones, direct the Self to faith, knowledge and conduct, the path of emancipation.
COMMENTARY
Hence the saint has to discard all bodily marks as they are useless and concentrate upon the three jewels or Right Belief, Right Knowledge, and Right Conduct which are spiritual in nature and which are therefore the true path.
मक्खप अप्पाणं ठवेहि तं चैव झाहि तं चेद ।
तत्थेव विहरणिचं मा विहरसु अण्णदव्वे ॥ ४१२॥
mokkhapahe appāņam thavehi tam ceva jhahi tam ceda tattheva vihara niccam ma viharasu annadavvesu (412) मोक्षपथे आत्मानं स्थापय तं चैव ध्यायस्व तं चैतयस्व |
तत्रैव विहर नित्यं मा विहार्षीरन्यद्रव्येषु ||४१२॥
412. Keep the Self on the path of emancipation, meditate on him, experience him, always move in Him, do not move among other things.
COMMENTARY
It has already been shown that the three jewels which constitute the mokşa marga are really of the nature of the Self. Therefore the directions to establish, to experience, to meditate etc., refer to the Self. Thus it is emphasised that you are always to live, move and have your to look beyond to the outer world. for self-realisation.
being in the Self and never This is the surest method

Next it is pointed out that those who are devoid of real knowledge and who put their faith on bodily garbs alone, cannot realise the Absolute Self.
