________________ Soul Science : Samayasāra by Jain Acārya Kundakunda 99 93 says that the Jñāni is the non-doer of psychic Karma (Bhāva Karma). Question: According to Gāthā 87, Rāga-Dveșa associated with a Jiva are of two types: (1) Jiva type and (2) Ajīva type. If we consider Jiva type Rāga-Dvesa then according to Gāthā 82, Jiva should be the doer of such Rāga-Dveşa. Is it right? Answer: Gāthā 82 should be understood properly in the light of other stanzas. One should also keep in mind the view points (Naya). The emphasis of Gāthā 82 is that a Jiva can never be the doer of actions of matter. While writing the commentary of Gāthā 82, Ācārya Amộtacandra has highlighted that a Jīva under some context may be considered as the doer of its own Bhāva Karma. Gāthā 92 and 93 provide additional information in this matter. Here Ācārya Kundakunda explains that a Jñāni is not to be considered as the doer of Bhāva Karma, whereas an Ajñāni becomes the doer of Bhāva Karma. Question: Due to the fruition of Dravya Karma there may be anger, etc. A Jñānī does not identify oneself as the doer of anger etc., but he is involved with the anger etc. How can he be called as the non-doer of anger? Answer: For an answer in the modern, simple, and logical language, let us consider a worldly example. Suppose a person named Dinesh is driving a car carefully and a motor cyclist named Suresh hits his car from the back. Due to this collision, Suresh lost the balance and fell down. This resulted into the loss of life of Suresh. One can now ask some questions. Question: Is it true that Suresh died as a result of collision with the car driven by Dinesh? Answer: Yes. Question: Is it true that the car of Dinesh was involved in the collision? Answer: Yes. Question: Should Dinesh feel sorry for this collision and death of Suresh in which he was involved ?
