problem in social relations and hinders one from crossing the ocean of suffering. 2.72 āyānijjam ca āyā, tammi třāņeņa citthai.
vitaham pappa kheyanne, tammi thāṇammi citthai. Accepting the acceptable (non-possessiveness) the ignorant person does not stick to it. Having access to the untrue (i.e. possessiveness), he sticks to it. Bhagyam Sutra 72 Here acceptable stands for non-possessiveness. A person ignorant of himself accepts non-possessiveness, but does not stick to it. On his access to the untrue (i.e. possessiveness), he remains addicted to it.
A person ignorant of himself is not capable of avoiding his clinging to possessions of worldly objects. Sometimes, somehow he even accepts the acceptable, but in the absence of the power of discrimination between soul and matter, he does not adhere to it which is possible only on the acquisition of the power of discrimination. 2.73 uddeso pasaggassa natthi. There is no designation for the seer. Bhājyam Sutra 73 The person who sees the objectives truth is a seer. There is no designation for him. Designation means the description, for example, the naming of a person as happy, miserable, angry, proud, deceitful, greedy, rich, poor etc.
The seer transcends such designations and always experiences his self-nature and avoids conceptual vagaries. 15 2.74 bāle puņa pihe kāmasamaņuņņe asamiyadukkhe dukkhi dukhānameva āvattam anupariyatțai — tti bemi. An ignorant person is but full of affection. He desire for pleasurable things. He suffering is not mitigated. Being miserable, he rotates in the whirl of suffering - Thus do I say. Bhāyyam Sūtra 74 A person who is ignorant and not a seer is filled with affection and desires for sensual objects. He is not able to calm down his suffering arising from sensual objects and possessions. With unmitigated sufering, he lives in miserable condition. Because of his physical and mental suffering, he revolves in the whirl of miseries. The ignorant person is disignated as happy, miserable, angry etc. 18
