________________ 416 HEZITI - 96 e o EIGITEEN ents as constituting the final action taken by a human being. It is found that this debate is not very necessary for deciding what are the constituents of a human decision, as the proposition can be consid - idered on its merits, and if so done one can not object to the Validity of it. According to the Jian Scholar Muni Shri Sant - balji five elements constituting a human decision as under :Determinism (Niyati), Time, Self consciousness, Destiny (Prarabdha) and Effort (Purushartha). It is found that according to Jain metaphysics five elements which constitute, human actions are Pudgal, Dharma, Adharma, Space and Time. As already explained in the fore-note, Padgal means, vibrations caused by various Kashaya such as hust, aeger, avarice, attachment etc. Dharma implies movement, Adharma implies want of movement and time & place are the medium through which action is performed. तत्रैवं सति कर्तारमात्मानं केवलं तु यः । पश्यत्यकृतबुद्धित्वान्न स पश्यति दुर्मतिः ॥ १६ ॥ " This being the case, a person of perverted outlook and limited understanding considers himself alone as the doer. He does not perceive the reality." - 16 यस्य नाहकृतो भावो बुद्धिर्यस्य न लिप्यते । हत्वाऽपि स इमाँल्लोकान्न हन्ति निबद्धयते ॥ १७ ॥ Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
