is diseased, wounded, killed, or destroyed, he does not feel pained. He knows that if all the Karmas were destroyed, he would never again take a body, but remain bodyless. If Karmas, however, exist in bondage, with the soul, at the time he leaves this body, he will immediately take another fresh body, which too would be helpful in his work. Being a right believer he cannot have a deformed body, or one of an inferior kind. He also knows that he is not the owner of other animate or inanimate objects. He takes the electric and Karmic bodies also in the same light. Though these have accompanied his soul continuously from eternity and would leave him only, when he is finally liberated, they have been changing at every instant. New molecules come and old ones fall off. They are unconscious, and material. They also form an abode. though one of a finer kind for his mundane soul. So too all vibrations and passionate thoughts, mild and intense, are impermanent and due to material causes. They also can never be his property. His own property is in him and therefore he is regardless of all that is foreign to himself. He is absorbed in himself,
एदमि रदो णिचं संतुटो होहि णिचमेदसि । एदेण होहि तित्तो तो होहदि उत्तमं सोक्खं ॥ २१६ ।। एतस्मिन् रतो नित्यं संतुष्टो भव नित्यमेतस्मिन् । एतेन भव तृप्तो तर्हि भविष्यति तवोत्तमं सौख्यं ॥ २१६ ॥
219. Have love always in this (soul's nature); be always contended therein. By this be satisfied. Then will the highest bliss be (thine).
आभिणिसुदोहिमणकेवलं च तं होदि एकमेव पदं ।
सो एसो परमट्टो जं लहिदुं णिव्वुदि जादि ॥ २२० ॥ प्राभिनिबोधिकश्रुतावधिमनः पर्ययकेवलं च तद्भवत्येकमेव पदं । स एवं परमार्थः यं लब्ध्वा निवृतिं याति ॥ २२० ॥
220. Sensitive, Scriptural, Visual, Mental, and Perfect (knowledge) each is only the one status. That (is) the highest thing. Having gained that Liberation is attained.
Commentary. From the pure real standpoint there are no distinctions of knowledge. Knowledge is all one and the supreme pure attribute
