Commentary.
The fifth quality of a right believer is self-reservance. He is devoted to the pure attributes of the perfect soul, and realises his soul just like the Siddhas. His remaining firm in his right belief is a real preservation of his soul from bad consequences.
उम्मग्गं गच्छंतं सिवमग्गे जो ठवेदि अप्पाणं । सोठिदिकरणेण जुदो सम्मादिट्टी मुणेदव्वो ॥२४६॥ उन्मार्ग गच्छंतं शिवमार्गे यः स्थापयत्यात्मानं । स स्थितिकरणेन युक्तः सम्यग्दृष्टिमन्तव्यः॥२४६ ॥
249. He who fixes his own soul when deviating in the wrong path in the path of Liberation that right believer should be known (to be) with the power of steadfastness.
Commentary. A right believer must have the quality of steadfastness. He keeps his soul away from all perverse belief. His strong conviction appears wonderful to wrong believers. If adversari es try to him or to make him deviate from his path or if strong bad Karmas being operative bring poverty, disease, separation from family members etc., he remains firm in his conviction.
जो कुणदि वच्छलत्तं तिराहे साधूण मोक्खमग्गम्मि । सो वच्छलभावजुदो सम्मादिट्टी मुणेदव्यो ॥ २५०॥ यः करोति वत्सलत्वं त्रयाणां साधूनां मोक्षमार्गे। सः वात्सल्यभावयुक्तः सम्यग्दृष्टिमन्तव्यः ॥ २५० ॥
250. He who has love for these three belief, knowledge, and conduct) right causes of the path of Liberation, that, right believer should be known (to be) with feelings of love.
Commentary. The seventh quality of Love is also found in a right believer. He has formed his goal of attaining Liberation and therefore he deeply loves the three-fold path of Liberation which is right belief, right knowledge, and right conduct. In one word, it is Self-absorp. tion.
