CHAPTER VII
एवमादु एदु विवि सव्वे भावे य णिच्छदे णाणी । जागभावोणियदो णीरालंबो दु सव्वत्थ ॥ २१४॥ evamadu edu vivihe savve bhave ya nicchade nani jānagabhāvo niyado nirālambo du sarvattha (214) एवमादिकांस्तु विविधान् सर्वान् भावान् च नेच्छति ज्ञानी । ज्ञायकभावो नियतो निरालम्बस्तु सर्वत्र ॥ २९४ ॥
214. The Knower has no hankering after all these various psychic states (such as desire and appetite for external objects). Since he is really of the nature of the Knower he remains everywhere independent (of alien influences).
उपोभोगे विभोगबुद्धीय तस्स सो णिच्चं ।
कंखामणागदस्स य उदयस्स ण कुव्वदे णाणी ॥ २१५ ॥ uppannodayabhoge viogabuddhiya tassa so niccam kamkhāmaṇāgadassa ya udayassa na kuvvade ṇāņi (215) उत्पन्नोदय भोगो वियोगबुद्ध्या तस्य स नित्यम् ।
काङ्क्षामनागतस्य च उदयस्य न करोति ज्ञानी ॥ २१५॥
215. Thus the Knower having always an attitude of renunciation towards the enjoyable environmental objects arising from the operation of karmas, he exhibits neither a desire for the present changes nor a longing for the future ones.
जो वेददिवेदिदि समए समए विणस्सदे उहयं ।
तं जाणगो द्र णाणी उभयमवि ण कखइ कयावि ॥ २१६ ॥
jo vedadi vedijjadi samae samae uinassade uhavam tain jānago dunānī ubhayamavi na kamkhai kayāvi (216) यो वेदयते वेद्यते समये समये विनश्यत्युभयं ।
तद् ज्ञायकस्तु ज्ञानी, उभयमपि न कांक्षति कदापि ॥ २१६ ॥

216. Psychic activities corresponding to what feels and what is felt, both get destroyed every moment. One who knows this is the Knower. Never does he long for these.
