THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
pure, this view is not altogether correct. If internal attachment, etc., are not removed, this renunciation merely will not stop the advent of Karmic matter. Internal attachment and external possession should both be discarded. If internal attachment is removed no inclination for external objects remains.
जह सिप्पिओ दु कम्मं कुव्वदि णय सोदु तम्मो होदि । तह जीवोवि य कम्मं कुवदि णय तम्मओ होदि ॥ ३७८ ॥ यथा शिल्पिकस्तु कर्म करोति न च स तु सन्मयो भवति । तथा जीवोऽपि च कर्म करोति न च तन्मयो भवति ॥ ३७८ ॥
378. And as the artisan performs a job, but does not become identified with it ; similarly soul also does the Karmas, but does not become identified with them.
जह सिप्पिो दु करणेहि कुव्वदि णय सोदु तम्मोहोदि। तह जीवो करणेहि कुव्वदि णय तम्मओ होदि ॥ ३७६ ॥ यथा शिल्पिकः करणैः करोति न स तु तन्मयो भवति । तथा जीवः करणैः करोति न च तन्मयो भवति ॥ ३७६ ॥
379. And as the artisan works with his organs of action, hand, etc., but he does not become identified with them, so soul does the Karmas with its organ of action (i.e., mind, body and speech) but does not become identified with them.
जह सिप्पियो करणाणि गिलदिणय सो दु तम्मोहोदि। तह जीवो करणाणिय गिढदि णय तम्मोहोदिं॥३८०॥ यथा शिल्पिकस्तु करणानि गृह्णाति न स तु तन्मयो भवति । तथा जीवः करणानि च गृह्णाति न च तन्मयो भवति ॥३८०॥
380. As the artisan holds the instruments, but he does not become identified with them; so the soul also adopts the means, but does not become identified with them.
