________________
comprehends the world as consisting of animate and inanimate things by means of his wisdom. By the comprehensive knowledge of the world, the intelligence about the unacceptable and acceptable becomes manifest. As a result, the aspirant becomes straightforward or devoted to what is good." 3.6 avattasoe samgamabhijāṇati.
The monk who realizes the self knows the clinging as
the whirl and the stream. Bhāoyam Sutra 6
Clinging is attachment. The monk recognizes the clinging as whirl and stream.
'Whirl' means the agitation or fickleness of the mind due to the impulse of sensual affection.
Stream is the enterance. In the Sthānănga (9.24) nine streams are mentioned: two ears, two eyes, two noses, the mouth, the genetic organ and the anus. The stream includes also the senses. In the Ayāro (4.45), we find the mention of 'one entagled in the incoming stream' which means one entangled in the sensuous stream.
It is explained in the Niśitha - Bhāsya- Cūrni that attachment and clinging are synonymous. Or the state of the soul arising from the karma is attachment. The same attachment is called clinging, because it connects the soul with karma.“ 3.7 sīosiņaccăi se niggamthe arai-rai-sahe pharusiyam ņo vedeti.
The unbound monk enduring heat and cold does not experience any harshness while tolerating ennui and
relish. Bhāsyam Sūtra 7
'Cold stands for favorable circumstances; 'heat stands for adverse circumstances. The person who tolerates with equanimity both these conditions is the unbound monk enduring ennui and relish. He does not feel harshness anywhere. On account of the variety of experience even pleasure for non-restraint and displeasure for restraint may arise even in the mind of the aspirant. The person who can bear the two is not subjected to the experience of harshness. Nor does he regard the restraint as a burden, nor does he generate a knot.'
