Bhāśyam Sutra 63 Some inapt persons get angry when adversely addressed. They are overwhelmed with emotion on hearing unfavourable remarks. This is a form of disturbance in the observance of the discipline. 5.64 unnayamāṇe ya nare, mahatā moheņa mujjhati. An immature person puffed up with egoism is embarrssed with deep delusion.
Bhajyam Sūtra 64 An inapt person, on hearing words of praise from others, is puffed up with, that is, overcome by egoism; he feels stupefied due to deep delusion. This is also a disturbance in the discipline. The inapt, non-plused by praise, is stupefied sometimes by deluded (i.e. perverse) faith (doctrine), sometimes by deluded ethics. 5.65 sambāhā bahave bhujjo-bhujjo duratikkamā ajāṇato apăsato. There are many obstacles, very difficult to overcome for the ignorant and the blinded. Bhãyyam Sutra 65 For the inapt who neither knows nor sees, there arise frequently many obstructions, that is, troubles and tribulations. He does not know or see how these hardships and troubles are to be endured; nor does he know the merit in enduring them and the demerit in not enduring them. Consequently they are very difficult for him to overcome. 5.66 eyam te mā hou. 'Let me wander alone in the immature state', — let such whim not occur in your mind. Bhāoyam Sutra 66 One should not entertain the idea of living a lonely life in the state of inaptness. This is the advice of the teacher to the taught.
If an inapt person desires to dwell alone, the order of the discipline is disrupted. In the Jina's order, there is prescribed not only collective practice
