________________ SAMAYASARA. 37 Commentary. Looked at from the practical standpoint, all these conditions may be said to appertain to a mundane soul. Soul in its pure nature is, however, free of, and different from, these. एदे हिय संबंधो जहेव खीरोदयं मुणेदव्यो। णय हुंति तस्स ताणि दु उवोग गुणाधिगो जम्हा॥६२॥ एतैश्च संबंधो यथैव क्षीरोदकं मंतव्यः । न च भवंति तस्य तानि तूपयोगगुणाधिको यस्मात् ॥ ६२॥ 62. And the connection with these (conditions) should be known (to be) the same as (that of) milk (with) water. But all these are not in the soul, because (it is really) full of the attribute of conscious-attentiveness (i.e., perfect conation and knowledge). Commentary. All the impure thought-activities and conditions of soul are due to its being bound by Karmic matter, the effects of which are infinitely more wonderful, mysterious and powerful than electric currents. If this Karmic matter is separated from the soul, the soul becomes its pure self, an enlightened Being full of All-knowledge, conation, happiness and power. But as pure water mixed with milk loses its ownness and is called milk; so this soul, though pure, mixed with Karmic dirt has lost its soul ness; and its material conditions are given the name of soul. A right-believer should therefore make a clear distinction between the two, and giving up attachment with what is foreign to him should believe his soul to be potentially possessed of all the attribute of the pure soul. पंथे मुस्संतं पस्सिदूण लोगा भणंति ववहारी। मुस्सदि एसो पंथो णय पंथो मुस्सदे केई ॥ ६३ ॥ पथि मुष्यमाणं दृष्ट्वा लोका भवंति व्यवहारिणः। मुष्यते एषः पंथा न च पंथा मुष्यते कश्चित् ॥ ६३ ॥ 63. Common people, seeing some one looted, in the way, say, “the way is looted,” but no way whatsoever is (really) looted.
