जिनेन्द्रप्रतिमारूपमपि निमलमानसः । निमिमेषशा ध्यायन रूपस्थध्यानवान् भवेत् ॥१०।।
One contemplating without winking and with firm stare, purging the mind of its impurities, on the idol of the revered Jinesvara, who is devoid of any blemish of such wicked thoughts and sentiments as love, hatred, delusion, nescience etc., who is lovable, attractive, having all the excellent characteristics; is incomprehensible to the followers of other creeds and philosophical persuations; who appears charming as he has assumed the posture of meditation; who gives delight to the eyes; and who is extraordinarily steady; is known as Roopastha-Dhyani.
योगी चाऽभ्यासयोगेन तन्मयत्वमुपागतः । सर्वज्ञीभूतमात्मानमवलोकयति स्फुटम् ॥११॥
सर्वज्ञो भगवान् योयमहमेवाऽस्मि स ध्र वम् । एवं तन्मयतां यातः सर्ववेदीति मन्यते ॥१२॥
Meaning : By the practice of the material meditation, the meditating yogi, who identifies himself with the omniscient, finds himself to be an omniscient.
“The Omniscient on whom I am meditating is myself.” Having thus identified himself with the Omniscient (constantly in course of the whole programme of meditation), the meditating yogi is accepted as in omniscient.
