________________ CHAPTER VII 131 such as jñānāvaraniya On account of the psychic states relating to pure perception, etc, the karmic conditions are absent This absence of conditions in one who has discriminative knowledge causes the blocking up of psychic inflow (bhāvāsrava) If the psychic inflow is blocked up, the blocking of the karmic inflow (dravyāsrava) necessarily follows When there is no inflow of material karmas, the inflow of nokarmic materials is also stopped When there is no inflow of nokarmic body-building materials the process of body-building will completely disappear which means the cessation of samsāra COMMENTARY So long as the root cause, identification of the Self with karmas persists, psychic activity to wrong belief, wrong knowledge, wrong conduct, and yoga persists These form the cause of the bhāvāsrava relating to desire, averson, and delusion bhāvāsrava forms the cause of dravyāsrava or material karmas Material karamas in their turn form the cause of body-building nonkarmas Nokarma is the cause of samsāra This is the causal sequence But when discriminative knowledge appears, the Self recognises its own pure chetana nature This knowledge leads to the absence of psychic activity relating to wrong belief, wrong knowledge etc Absence of such psychic activities leads to the disappearance of bhāvasrava When that is absent karma naturally disappears Disappearance of karmas means cessation of samsāra This is the order of samvara Thus ends the Chapter on samvara Thus Samvara quits the stage CHAPTER VII (Nirjara—Shedding of Karmas) Then Nurjara appears on the stage उवभोगमिदियेहि य दव्वाणमचेदणाणमिदराण । ज कुणदि सम्मदिट्ठी त सव्व णिज्जरणिमित्त ॥१९३।।
