कर्मणोऽभावन च नो कर्मणामपि जायते निरोधः। नोकर्मनिरोधेन तु संसारनिरोधनं भवति ॥ २०१॥
199-200-201. The causes of (attachment etc.,) are said by the all-seeing to be the manifest operation of (Karmas). (They are) wrong belief, wrong knowledge, vowlessness and the soul's vibratory activity.
By the non-existence of these causes certainly results the checking of thought-inflow in a knowing soul. In the absence: of thought-inflow, results the checking (of the inflow) of Karmic matter also, and by the non-existence of Karmicinflow is caused the checking of Quasi-Karmic matter also. And by the checking of Quasi-Karmic matter, there results the checking of the cycle of transmigration.
Commentary. When by the constant practice of self-analysis, the soul's: power and thought-activity is so purified that it is capable of causing the subsidence of wrong-belief Karma and of error-feeding passion-Karmas, a person becomes a right believer. His knowledge becomes right knowledge. A right believer even in the fourth stage of yowless right belief, is capable of checking all those thought-activities which are causes of the inflow and bondage of such strong Karmas as wrong belief, error-feeding-passions. A right-believer will never be born in inferior bodies.
He will generally be born as a celestial or a human being till his mundane wanderings are totally exhausted. He will be gradually advancing in self-realisation. And through self-reali. zation he will not take long to attain a suitable body for the practice of pure concentration in order to destroy all Karmas and to be liberated finally and become a perfect soul.
CHAPTER VII.
The shedding of Karmas (Nirjara), उवभोजमिंदियहिय दव्वाणमचेदणाणमिदराणं । जं कुणदि सम्मदिही तं सव्वं णिज्जरणिमित्तं ॥ २०२॥ उपभोगमिंद्रियैः द्रव्याणामचेतनानामितरेषाम् । यत्करोति सम्यग्दृष्टिः तत्सर्वं निर्जरानिमित्तम् ॥ २०२॥
