SAMAYASARA.
जीवो बंधश्च तथा छियेते स्वलक्षणाभ्यां निजकाभ्याम् । प्रज्ञाछेदकेन तु चिन्नौ नानास्वमापन्नः ॥ ३१६ ॥
316. Thus the soul and bondage disunite, each having its own real essential nature. And they fall apart, being chiselled by the chisel of self-discrimination.
___Commentary. Material Karmas and soul are mixed together like milk and water. Their individual nature can only be discriminated by taking their differentia into consideration. Differentia of soul is pure consciousness, free from any obscurity or passionate and impure thought-activity. From real point of view it is quite pure, all-knowing, all perceiving, all powerful, all-peaceful and all-happy. The operative effects of Karmas and other physical conditions are all material. By constant practice, this self-discrimination makes the soul quite pure, peaceful, and happy like all other liberated . Souls.
जीवो वंधोय तहा छिज्जंति सलक्खणेहि यिएहि । वंधो छेदेदव्वो सुद्धो अप्पाय चित्तव्यो । ३१७॥ जीवो बंधश्च तथा छियेते स्वलक्षणाभ्यां निजकाभ्याम् । बंधश्छेत्तव्यः शुद्ध आत्मा गृहीतव्यः ॥ ३१७ ॥
317. When the soul and bondage disunite each having attained its own real essential nature, the bondage should be given up; and the pure soul should be realised.
कह सो धिप्पदि अप्पा परणाए सो दुघिप्पदे अप्पा । जह परणाए विभत्तो तह पएणा एव पित्तव्बो ॥ ३१८॥ कथं स गृह्यते भात्मा प्रज्ञया स तु गृह्यते मात्मा । यथा प्रज्ञया विभक्तस्तथा प्रज्ञयैव गृहीतव्यः ॥ ३१८ ॥
318. How is the soul realised ? The soul is realised by self-discrimination; as by self-discrimination (they, i.e., soul and bondage) are separated, so by the same self-discrimination (the soul) should be realised.
