VIVEKACHUDAMANI
देहात्मना संस्थित पव कामी विलक्षणः कामयिता कथं स्यात् ।
भतोऽर्थसन्धानपरत्वमेव
भेदप्रसक्तया भवबन्धहेतुः ॥ ३११ ॥
311. He alone who has identified himself with the body is greedy after sense-pleasures. How can one, devoid of the body-idea, be greedy (like him)? Hence the tendency to think on sense-objects is verily the cause of the bondage of transmigration, giving rise to an idea of distinction or duality.
कार्यप्रवर्धनाबीजप्रवृद्धिः परिदृश्यते ।
कार्यनाशादबीजनाशस्तस्मात्कायं निरोधयेत् ॥ ३१२ ॥
312. When the effects' are developed, the seed' also is observed to be such, and when the effects are destroyed, the seed also is seen to be destroyed. Therefore one must subdue the effects.
[ Effects-actions done with selfish motives. 2Seed desire for sense-pleasures. The next Sloka explains this. ]
वासनावृद्धितः कार्य कार्यवृद्धया च वासना । वर्धते सर्वथा पुंसः संसारो न निवर्तते ॥ ३१३ ॥
