अथ स्वयमात्मा परिणमते क्रोधभावेन एषा तव बुद्धि । क्रोध परिणामयति जीव क्रोधत्वमिति मिथ्या ॥ १२४ ॥
124 If it is your belief that the Self, without any extraneous influence, undergoes emotional modifications such as anger, then Oh disciple! your statement, "karmic matter of anger produces in the Self the emotion of anger," becomes false
कोहुवजुत्तोकोहो माणुवजुत्तो य माणमेवादा | माउवजुत्तो माया लोहुवजुत्तो हवदि लोहो ।। १२५ ।। kohuva jutto koho manuvajutto ya manamevāda Mavovajutto maya lohuvajutto havadi loho
(125)
क्रोधोपयुक्त क्रोधो मानोपयुक्तश्च मान एवात्मा । मायोपयुक्तो माया लोभोपयुक्तो भवति लोभ ॥ १२५ ॥
125 The Self in association with karmic material conditions of anger, has the emotion of anger, of pride, has the emotion of pride, of deceipt, has the emotion of deceipt, of greed, has the emotion of greed
COMMENTARY
The argument employed in the case of matter that it is capable of modification is repeated in the case of jiva If the Self is by himself incapable of karmic bondage and is incapable of emotional modification of anger, he must remain pure and unchanging like the Sankhya purusha Hence there is no scope for samsara In order to avoid this conclusion, if matter is credited with potency to cause emotional modifications in the Self, then this problem will remain unanswered How can matter in any way produce changes in an alten entity, the Self, which is taken to be unchangeable in nature Hence it must be accepted that the Self is capable of undergoing emotional modifications when influenced by karmic materials operating as nimitta condition
