CHAPTER-V
THE ESSENCE OF THE WORLD
SECTION-3
5.39 āvāmtī keāvamti loyamsī apariggahāvamtī, eesu ceva apariggahāvamtī.
The persons endowed with the virtue of non-possessiveness are so on account of their non-clinging to the possessions. Bhagyam Sutra 39
All those who are free from acquisitiveness are so only on account of their being free from the sense of ëmineí-ness with respect to worldly objects. It is possible to change the course of life only by accepting the truth of non-possessiveness. In the presence of clinging to the worldly things, the passions of violence and falsehood are difficult of eradication. Only those who do not accumulate fortune and have no clinging to it are capable of practicing non-possessiveness.
5.40 soccā vai mehāvī, pamdiyānam nisāmiyă. samiyāe! dhammo, āriehim pavedite.
The Jinas have propounded the law of equality. Learning this law from the learned preceptor, the intelligent aspirant should appreciate the truth.
