________________ 140 THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS. He takes them to be the fruition of his own Karmas already bound by him owing to his own impure thought-actions, and he remains equanimous in mind without having disgust or disturbance of any kind. Similarly when he sees others in poverty, disease, dishonour and distress he feels no disgust for them; but has compassion for them: and with a mild heart, so far as it lies in his power, tries to remove the pain and trouble of another. Although in practice, laymen are obliged to remain away from dirt, filth, and causes of infectious diseases, etc., yet they do not feel any disgust. Principles of hygiene, and considerations of morality may keep him aloof from such objects as are likely to cause him harm, but he has no disgust towards any one. जो हवदि सम्मूढ़ो चेदा सव्वेसु कम्मभावेसु । सो खलु मूढदिट्टी सम्मादिट्टी मुणेदव्वो ॥ २४७ ॥ यो भवति असंमूढश्चेतयिता सर्वेषु कर्मभावेषु । स खलु अमूढदृष्टिः सम्यग्दृष्टिर्मन्तव्यः ॥ २४७ ॥ 247. The soul which is not ignorant of all the modifications of Karmas, that right believer should certainly be known (to be ) ungullible. Commentary. Ignorance or superstition is a great danger. Under false beliefs people perform many unjust and irreligious deeds and suffer bad consequences here and hereafter. A right believer has gone beyond this state. जो सिद्धभत्तिजुत्तो उवगूहणगो दु सव्वधम्माणं । सो उवगूहणगारी सम्मादिट्ठी मुणेदव्वो ॥ २४८ ॥ यः सिद्धभक्तियुक्तः उपगूहनकस्तु सर्वधर्माणां । स उपगूहनकारी सम्यग्दृष्टिर्मन्तव्यः ॥ २४८ ॥ 248. He, who is imbued with devotion to Siddhas cr perfect souls, and preserves himself against all impure thought natures, that right believer should be known (to be) the self-preserver.
