Chapter - 3 ineffective by the instructions of the people who know the truth.
Such instructions prescribe abandonment of the arrogance of action and ownership of the alien substance (matter) and its attributes-“Ramain a spectator, an observer, a witness of all that is happening in the physical world but do not become an actor, a doer, because the drama is being played by aliens and you being a spectator have no legitimate right to participate or interfere in it as an actor.” As soon as the soul takes these instructions to heart (for the first time in eternity) and stops acting his perversion is removed and he is entitled to be called "jñāni" i.e., the possessor of right knowledge.
Note that both virtuous as well as sinful activities are included because virtuous actions also result in bondage of auspicious kanna (punya:) and this will have to be expiated by enjoyment which presupposes extension of worldly state and preclusion of emancipation. Empirical aspect of these facets will be discussed in the subsequent chapters.
Eternal Metaphysical Truths जो जम्हि गुणे दव्वे सो अण्णम्हि दुण संकमदि दव्वे।

(Jo jamhi gune davve so annnamhi du davve na samkumudi) Modification of each substance and quality, being inherent to them, can never leave them and migrate to another substance or quality; (annnumasamkamto) and when it cannot migrate to an alien substance (so tam davvam kiha purināmae) how can it determine the modes of the alien substance?
(Ādū poggulamayamhi kammamhi davvagunassa ya na kunadi) The soul (conscious substance cannot transmute its substance and qualities into kurma which is (karmic) matter physical
