________________ SAMAYASARA. 31 not) the king only (but also his military forces are) gone out (with him). Commentary. It is from the practical point of view a mere attribution of soul, its base accompaniment. Really otherwise the soul, pure, and in the full possession of its essential self, stands out alone. In common parlance, for instance, we speak of the king going out, though it would not be without many others going out with him. एमेव य ववहारो अज्झवसाणादि अण्णभावाणं । जीवोत्ति कदो सुत्ते तत्थेको णिच्छिदो जीवो ॥ ५३ ॥ एवमेव च व्यवहारोऽध्यवसानाद्यन्यभावानां। जीव इति कृतः सूत्रे तत्रैको निश्चितो जीवः ॥ ५३॥ 53. And similarly from the practical standpoint this has been said in the Scripture that this non-soul thoughtactivity, attachment, etc., (is) the soul. From the real standpoint the soul in itself is alone. Commentary. The soul in itself is alone; it is separate from the impure thought-activity, attachment, etc. In practice, however, it is united with its own non-self thought-activity, which is the result of the operation of its Karmic matter. Practical standpoint speaks of a thing so as to misrepresent its reality for the sake of explanation to the people in general. As a king may go out with his army, and it may be said that the king has gone out. Literally the words mean that it is the king only that has gone out. The going out of the army is not expressed in this imperfect, practical way of talking. Similarly the impure thought-activities are called soul, because they are connected with the soul. If we analyse, we shall find the soul as a pure knowing substance, entirely different from these thought-activities. अरसमरूवमगंधं अव्वत्तं चेदणागुणमसदं । जाण अलिंगग्गहणं जीवमाणिदिह संठाणं ॥५४॥ अरसमरूपमगंधमव्यक्तं चेतनागुणमशब्द । जानीहि अलिंगग्रहणं जीवमनिर्दिष्टसंस्थानं ॥ ५४॥ Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
