________________ SAMAYASARA. 16 19. (Right) belief, knowledge and conduct should always be pursued by a saint (from the practical standpoint). Know all these three, again, (to be) the soul itself from the real standpoint. Commentary. From the real point of view, we cannot make any distinction between right belief, right knowledge, and right conduct. They all are co-existent and one with the individuality of the soul. Whoso. ever rightly meditates upon his own self obtains the clue to the threefold path of liberation, which from the practical point of view may be considered in three aspects. जह णाम कोवि पुरिसो रायाणं जाणिऊण सदहदि । तो तं अणुचरदि पुणो अत्थत्थीओ पयत्तेण ॥ २०॥ यथानाम कोऽपि पुरुषो राजानं ज्ञात्वा श्रद्दधाति । ततस्तमनुचरति पुनरार्थिक प्रयत्नेन ॥ २० ॥ एवं हि जीवराया णादव्यो तह य सदहे दव्यो। अणुचरिदव्वो य पुणो सो चेव दु मोक्खकामेण ॥ २१॥ एवं हि जीवराजो ज्ञातव्यस्तथैव श्रद्धातव्यः । अनुचरितव्यश्च पुनः स चैव तु मोक्षकामेन ॥ २१ ॥ 20-21. As any man whosoever, knowing a king, believes (him as such), and then, being desirous of wealth, serves him by all efforts; so in reality the (pure) soul (as) king should be known, similarly should be believed, and then that same indeed should be realised by one desirous of liberation. Commentary. This Gatha propounds an illustration the illustration of a man seeking wealth, who renders service to the king and is paid wages therefor. The point of the example is that in self-realisation, too, we require the belief in the real soul and the fullest concentration of mind thereon. This Gatha forms the keynote to this book. The soul can be made perfect only by contemplation of, and concentration on, the real nature of the soul itself.
