is due to matter as the primary cause, is made from the impure view-point. From the pure real point of view there is neither bondage nor touch of any Karma with the soul. Viewing from the pure real standpoint, every soul is quite pure without any con tion with matter at all. It is the doer of its own pure modification of pure consciousness, peace and happiness.
कम्मं वद्धमवद्धं जीव एवं तु जाण णयपक्खं । पक्खादिकंतो पुण भएणदि जो सो समयसारो ॥ १४ ॥ कर्म बद्धमबद्धं जीवे एवं तु जानीहि नयपक्षम् । पक्षातिक्रांतः पुनर्भण्यते यः स समयसारः ॥ १४६ ॥
149. The Karmas are bound (or) not bound to the soul; know this certainly from the different points of view. But whatever is said after putting aside the points of view, that is the pure soul itself.
Commentary.
Points of view are only ways of knowing different aspects of a substance. Practical standpoint looks at the soul as bound with Karmas, while the real standpoint looks at it as unbound and pure. When, independently of all aspects, one is fixed up in the meditation of his own soul's true nature, and experiences peace and happiness, then there is no wavering thought about any aspect of purity or impurity. The combination of right belief, right knowledge and right conduct is the only true path of self-absorption; when there is no thinking, when the mind itself is in equilibrium, what to say of body and speech. The points of view are only helpful in knowing the truth. When Truth is realised, no wavering thoughts remain, and the soul is absorbed in itself.
दोपहवि णयाण भणिदं जाणइ णवरितु समयपडिवद्धो। ण दुणयपक्खं गिरहदि किंचिविणयपक्खपरिहीणो॥१५०॥ द्वयोरपि नययोर्भणितं जानाति केवलं तु समयप्रतिबद्धः । न तु नयपक्षं गृह्णाति किंचिदपि नयपक्षपरिहीनः ।। १५० ॥
150. Whatever is said from the two stand-points (real and practical) is merely what the Self-absorbed Soul knows
