सर्व जीव छे सिद्ध सम, जे समजे ते थाय । सद्गुरुआज्ञा जिनदशा, निमित्त कारण मांय ॥१३५॥ Sarva jiva chhe siddha sama, je samaje te thaya, Sadguru ajna jinadasha, nimitta karana maya. 135 All souls are like the perfect ones, Self-knowledge leads to perfection, Auxiliary cause is obedienceTo Teacher's word, Jin-condition. 135
All embodied Souls are potentially perfect like the liberated souls (Siddha). But one who knows and realizes the Self in him becomes liberated, while others follow the rut of the worldly life. The instrumental causes of the Soul's enlightement are mainly two one, the scrupulous adherence to the advice of the enlightened living Guru, and second, the thinking and meditation of the state of the Lord Victorious as explained by him.
उपादाननुं नाम लई, ए जे तजे निमित्त 1 पामे नहि सिद्धत्वने, रहे भ्रांतिमां स्थित ॥१३६॥ Upadananu nama lai, je taje nimitta, Pame nahi siddhatvane, rahe bhrantima sthita. 136
