9. Moksha Adhikar
Shloka 180: After the description of Bandh substance, using
the intelligence form sickle to crush, the bondage and soul are separated and the
total knowledge is gloriously revealed with the attainment of Moksha.
How is that person? – who is permanently stationary with the
real experience of the own nature.
How
is that knowledge? – With fruition of own natural bliss which is filled with
enjoyment , which is glorious. Which has completed all the required tasks which
does not need to know any more.
Kalash 1/180: With the destruction of all the obscuration, the illumination of pure
substance is revealed henceforth, which remains the same in all the infinite future and does not change.
How is the
shuddha gyan? Which has carried out the destruction of all the karmas which
needed to be destroyed, it is such. And how is it? It was obscured since eternal
times and now it has been revealed. It is accompanied with bliss beyond senses
having characteristics of perturbation free nature, manifesting in accordance
with the nature of dravya.
Bhavartha is
as follows- The result of Moksha is bliss beyond senses. How does the gyan get
revealed? With the destruction of all the karmas the jiva dravya gets
manifested in pure natural form.
Bhavartha is
as follows- From here onwards the form of Moksha having characteristics of
destruction of all the karmas, is
described. And how is it? It is supreme. And how is it? It has a definite
nature. How does the soul get salvation? By the generation of differentiating
knowledge that dravya karma, bhava karma, no karma form hindrances and shuddha
jiva dravya are different .
How does such realisation come? The
differentiating knowledge form intellect that jiva dravya is pure knowledge
form alone and impure ragas etc. hindrances are bandh – by continuously wielding
it like a sickle.
The Bhavartha is as follows- Just as with
repeated striking of sickle the pudgala substance wood etc. gets divided into
two, in the same way by means of differentiating knowledge the jiva and pudgala
are experienced differently again and again so that they get separated. Hence
differentiating knowledge is venerable.
Shloka 181: For separating soul from the bondage, this
intelligence is the only sharp chisel. Therefore wise persons, carefully
dispassionately insert it into the fine joint between soul and karmas with some
effort, so that with a sharp strike, the two get immediately separated in
totality.
That
intelligence form chisel, identifying the soul immersed within its conscious
form by its clear stationary internal brightness with bandh having ignorance form as a rule, falls
in between the two.
Kalash 2/181: Bhavartha is as follows- The single bonded paryaya form relationship
between the jiva dravya and karma paryaya form manifested mass of pudgala
dravya has been continuing since eternal times. So when such relationship gets
relinquished and the jiva dravya manifests in his pure natural form of infinite
foursome qualities and the pudgala dravya renounces its gyanavarana etc. form
karma paryayas i.e. its relationship with Pradesh of jiva gets eliminated by becoming non bondage form then the jiva and pudgala both get separated and
then it is described as Moksha. The cause for separation is the manifestation
of jiva in pure natural form upon elimination of impure vibhava form
manifestations in raga dwesha moha etc.
form.
Its
description is as follows- the shuddha form manifestation is cause for
destruction of all the karmas. Such shuddha form manifestation is completely
dravya manifestation form and nirvikalpa in form hence cannot be described in
words. Therefore it is described in this way that the gyan quality manifested in the form of experience
of shuddha nature of jiva is cause for Moksha.
The clarification is as follows- the gyan
manifested in experience of shuddha nature accompanies the shuddha
manifestation of jiva completely. The one who manifests in shuddha form, that
jiva surely experiences the shuddha nature form without fail, otherwise such
experience does not occur; therefore the experience of shuddha nature is cause
for Moksha.
Here
different types of Mithya Drishti jivas engage in different vikalpas which are
answered. Some say that the knowing the
nature of jiva and bondage itself is Moksha Marga. Some say that after knowing
the form of bandh, such contemplation that when the bondage would get
eliminated , is cause for Moksha. It is told that those jivas are wrong
– they are Mithya Drishti.
The cause for Moksha is described- The gyan
quality of the jiva manifested in the form capable of experiencing the shuddha
nature of jiva is the chisel. Bhavartha is as follows- Generally when two
things are separated then it is carried out by means of chisel. Here also the
jiva and karma have to be separated ; for that purpose the chisel is of the
form of gyan capable of experiencing the nature ; there is no other means nor
would there be.
How this
knowledge form chisel separates is described- Soul is consciousness form dravya
and mass of pudgala karma or the moha-raga-dwesha form impure manifestations,
these are the separate two things. Although they are occupying same space
manifesting in bandh paryaya form in ashuddha corrupted form, nevertheless
there is a joint, it is not jointless i.e. the two drvyas have not become
single dravya form – that is the place where the knowledge form chisel is
stationed and where it gets separated by the knowledge form chisel.
How is that knowledge form chisel? With the
Kshayopasham of Gyanavaraniya karma and destruction of Mithyatva karma, it is
capable of stationing self in pure conscious nature.
Bhavartha is
as follows- Just as the iron chisel is quite sharp, even then by keeping on
joint carefully it splits the joint; in the same way the knowledge of samyak
Drishti jiva is quite sharp, by contemplating the joint of jiva and karma it
splits the joint which is explicit to knowledge, then further completely
separates upon destruction of all karmas.
How is the joint of jiva and karmas bondage? It
is quite fine which is not visible. Its description- The gyanavarana etc. mass
of pudgala form dravya karma, although it occupies the same space as that of
jiva, upon contemplation it is realised
as different. The reason is that the dravya karma is pudgala mass form
and although it occupies same space even then its Pradesh are different, it is
non conscious which gets bonded and separated- with such consideration the
realisation of difference is generated.
The No karma
of body, mind, speech form is also realised as different upon contemplation in
the same manner. The Bhava karma which are moha-raga-dwesha form impure
manifestations are jointly manifested form along with jiva and the jiva
manifests in pervasive-pervaded form with them at present. For this reason the
experience of those manifestations differently from the jiva is quite
difficult. Even so, upon consideration of fine joint they are differently
realised.
That
consideration is as follows- Just as sapphire jewel is by nature transparent
object but in conjunction with red, yellow, black backgrounds, it appears to be
red, yellow, black form. Upon contemplation of nature the sapphire jewel is
pure transparent object in which the red, yellow, blackness is affliction due
to conjunction of others; it is not natural quality of sapphire jewel.
In the same
way the nature of jiva dravya is pure consciousness form. Upon fruition of moha
karma in eternal progeny form, jiva manifests in impure consciousness form of
moha raga dwesha forms. However upon contemplation of present nature, the
consciousness alone is the jiva substance wherein the moha raga dwesha form
corruptions are due to fruition of
karmas afflictions, which are not of the nature of the jiva substance.
Upon such
contemplation the feeling of differentness is generated, which can be
experienced. Someone enquires that in how much time the knowledge chisel
separates them? The answer is as follows- It is very minute- within one samaya
it strikes and separates them at the same time.
How is the
knowledge form chisel? The Samyak Drishti jiva who is proficient in
experiencing the soul, for him upon attainment of kaal Labdhi (opportune
moment) it gets stationed in own nature.
Bhavartha is as follows- The differentiating
knowledge is vikalpa form knowledge, knower-known form, it is not nirvikalpa
like shuddha nature ; hence it is means form. How are the Samyak Drishti jivas?
They are vigilant to consideration of
different natures of jiva and karmas and not careless. How is the knowledge
form chisel? In every possible way it separates the jiva and karmas. How it
separates is described – In the illumination
quality which realises the natures of self and others, in its continuous
flow of all the three periods of time, it realises the jiva dravya as substance
form.
Bhavartha is as follows- The nature of jiva
dravya is pure consciousness form which is explicitly experienced. It realises
that the ragas etc. have nature of bondage as a rule. Bhavartha is as follows-
The ragas etc. are impurities, afflictions of karma bondage, not of the nature
of jiva. This gets known by experience. How is the flood of consciousness? In
all the innumerable Pradesh it is singular form, permanent at all times, pure
form at all times and explicit at all times, such is the brightness mass of
keval gyan, keval darshan.
Shloka 182: Wise people say that separating all others by
means of their own distinguished characteristics; I am identifiable by the
consciousness characteristics and I am indivisible glorious pure conscious self
only. In myself the six predicates
namely karta, karm, karan, sampradan, apadan, adhikaran ; existence-non
existence, permanence- transitoriness, oneness- being many, etc dharmas,
knowledge, vision etc. qualities, are divisive, so let them be but devoid of
all vibhava bhavas pure, one and Vibhu i.e. permeated within all the qualities
and paryayas(modes) – such conscious bhava does not have any divisions.
Kalash 3/182: Bhavartha is as follows- The jiva who experiences the pure nature, he
manifests in such ordination form, “ I am pure consciousness alone. Definitely
I am such only.” I am such whose undifferentiated glory has been stamped with
consciousness quality.
How such experience is attained is described-
all the afflictions due to fruition of karmas were being experienced believing
them to be own eternally, now their ownership has been relinquished knowing
them to be other dravya. How is the other dravya? The karma form other dravya
substance which can be separated from the jiva. How ? The characteristics of
jiva is consciousness and that of karma is insentience which can be
differentiated -with such means.
How am
I? The differentiation generated by
means of words that soul, to the soul, by the soul, in the soul or
generation-destruction-permanence form, or dravya-guna-paryaya form, or gyan, darshan, bliss etc. infinite
qualities form, are merely differences of speech but in the existence of
consciousness there is no differentiation. Only existence of consciousness
substance of nirvikalpa form is there.
How is the bhava of consciousness? It is
pervasive within own nature. And how is it? Devoid of all afflictions of
karmas.
Shloka 183 : Definitely in this world in spite of being
without duality, if the consciousness gives up its nature of darshan and gyan
then due to absence of general-specific
forms, that consciousness would give up its own existence. When consciousness
gives up its existence then it would become corporeal, and the permeated soul
without the permeating consciousness would be finished i.e. it would be destroyed.
Hence consciousness is of the form of darshan and gyan only as a rule.
Kalash 4/183: For this reason the reality of
the form of consciousness can definitely
be represented by the two names darshan and gyan.
Bhavartha is
as follows- One reality form
consciousness, has two names, one is darshan and other is gyan. Such
differences exist then let them be, it does not contradict anything. The same
is elaborated- How is the consciousness
form capability which illuminates self and others, which is explicit in the
jivas of the three loks ? Although it is illumination form, even then if it
relinquishes its two names of darshan and gyan form consciousness then three
flaws arise.
First flaw-
That consciousness surely relinquishes its sovereignty . Bhavartha is as
follows- it leads to the meaning that consciousness does not have existence.
Why ? Without existence of general and specific form paryayas.
Bhavartha is
as follows- Just as all the jivas etc. substances are existence form, the same
existence is paryaya form, in the same way the consciousness is eternal
nirvikalpa substance form reality which is described by the name of darshan.
The other thing is that it accepts all the gyeya substances by manifesting in
the form of subjects of knowledges, such manifestation is paryaya of
consciousness. Therefore consciousness is called by the term gyan. If these
states are relinquished then it leads to feeling that consciousness is not a substance.
Here someone may doubt that even if the
consciousness were not there the dravya would have been existent? The answer is
that dravya is recognized by the consciousness alone. Therefore without
presence of consciousness the dravya cannot exist; or otherwise what would be
established would be insentient like pudgala and not sentient.
The same is elaborated- The other flaw is that
due to lack of consciousness the jiva dravya would appear to be insentient as the
pudgala dravya.
The third
flaw is that without presence of pervasive consciousness quality the pervaded
soul would not appear to be jiva dravya also. Such three flaws are important.
Therefore to avoid these flaws one should accept consciousness to be
represented by the names darshan and gyan. Such experience is samyaktva.
Shloka
184: Consciousness has only the bhava of conscious nature and all other
bhavas are clearly others hence only the conscious bhavas are acceptable while
all other bhavas are discardable.
Kalash 5/184: The jiva dravya has consciousness form nature, definitely it is so and
not otherwise. How is the bhava of consciousness? It is nirvikalpa, without
differentiations, absolutely pure. The dravya karma, bhava karma and no karma
related manifestations which are different from pure consciousness nature
definitely, are all belonging to pudgala karma and not jiva. For this reason
the pure consciousness alone is nature of jiva, such experience is logical. The
dravya karma, bhava karma and no karma form natures which are different from it
are definitely not of the form of jiva, such experience is worthwhile. This
experience is samyaktva and Samyaktva quality is cause for Moksha.
Shloka 185: Those whose conduct of consciousness is bright
and quite superior- such people desirous of Moksha should follow this
principle, “ I am always pure consciousness form bright flame only, and all
these several kinds of bhavas of different nature are not myself, since they
all are other dravyas for me.”
Kalash 6/185: Those jivas who experienced the bliss beyond senses upon complete
destruction of karmas in venerable form, one should continuously experience the
nature of substance as described by them. How are the jivas desirous of Moksha?
Their intent in the mind is free of desires of worldly enjoyments. How is the
reality? I am jiva dravya who is directly known by own experience and
definitely pure knowledge natured illumination form at all times.
It is to be noted- the ragas etc. form impure
bhavas body etc. happiness, unhappiness form different types of impure paryayas
which are different from consciousness form nature, they all are not of the form of jiva dravya. How
are the impure bhavas? They are different from
my pure consciousness form nature. Why? On experiencing the own nature, these ragas etc.
form impure vibhava paryayas are other dravya form to me, since they are not
similar to pure consciousness characteristics; hence all vibhava manifestations
are despicable.
Shloka
186: The one who accepts the other dravyas is guilty and gets bonded. The
one who is satisfied with his own dravya in the form of samvar, he does not
accept other dravyas and is guilt free; does not get bonded.
Kalash 7/186: The jiva who is corrupted from pure consciousness form experience, gets
bonded with gyanavarana etc. karmas. How is he? Having oneness form ownership
of the impure manifestations of body, mind and speech. The samyak drishti jiva
detached from other dravyas does not experience the bhavas of fruition of
karmas, knowing them to be not belonging to soul , hence does not get bonded
with gyanavarana etc. karma mass.
Bhavartha is
as follows- Just as a thief steals others dravya, hence is guilty and being
guilty he gets shackled. In the same way the MithaDrishti jiva experiences the dravya karma, bhava karma, no
karma form other dravyas believing them to be his own. He is corrupted from the
experience of pure nature; upon consideration of reality, he is guilty and
accrues bondage of gyanavarana etc. karmas. The Samyak Drishti jiva is free of
such bhavas.
How is the Samyak Drishti jiva? He is samvar
form in own soul dravya i.e. engrossed within own soul.
Shloka
187: The soul who is guilty continuously bonds with infinite pudgala parmanu form karmas and the one who
is not guilty never touches the bondage. The soul who is guilty, he experiences
the soul impurely as a rule and is guilty only. The non guilty soul experiences
the pure soul in the right way.
Kalash 8/187: The pudgala karma is other dravya form, but he believes them to be his
own, such Mithya Drishti jiva gets bonded with pudgala vargana of the form of
gyanavarana etc. which are continuously infinite stream form. The Samyak
Drishti jiva who experiences the pure nature, does not have any contact with
the previously bonded karmas at any time, for sure.
Further the characteristics of guilty-non
guilty are described- the Mithya Drishti jiva has manifested in impure ragas
etc. form manifestations, the jiva
dravya continuously experiencing himself in this manner is guilty. The Samyak
Drishti jiva who is engrossed in experiencing the pure consciousness form jiva
dravya different from all the impurities of ragas, is free of all the guilts;
hence he does not accrue bondage.
Shloka
188: Here the negligent people who are enjoying carelessly are criticized
who are manifesting negligently taking recourse to Nishchaya naya alone. By
criticism they are instigated to make effort. Thus those who are manifesting in
carefree manner, their carelessness has been eliminated. Those who are taking
recourse to vyavahara and with the support of other dravyas and dravya
pratikraman etc. they are satisfied, their support has also been removed. They
are asked to immerse their consciousness into the soul only and engage it
there. Previously with the support of Vyavahara, the consciousness was
traversing into several activities. Now it is made to concentrate in the pure
soul itself. Till such time that the totally pure dense knowledge form soul is not realized the consciousness
should stay within its own self, thus the consciousness has been
stabilized- so it should be known.
Kalash 9/188: Those jivas who are corrupted from the attainment of pure nature, they
are not eligible for Moksha Marga; hence such Mithya Drishti jivas are
condemned. How are they? They are desirous of the pleasures acquired due to
fruition of karmas. The ragas etc. form impure manifestations result in
perturbations of all the Pradesh of the soul which are despicable.
Studies,
thinking, contemplations, recollections etc. carried out knowingly are not
cause for Moksha hence they too are declared despicable (being raga form).
Focusing in pure nature with a control over the mind is the means to achieve the objective of
explicit attainment of soul dravya with unobscured keval Gyan.
Shloka
189: O brother! Where Pratikraman itself has been called pot of poison,
there how can Apratikraman be nectar ? Even then why the jiva is tending to
fall downwards being negligent? Why does he not make effort to climb upwards
carefully?
Kalash 10/189: Therefore why does the entire worldly mass indulges in Pramad ( lack of
control, negligence)?
Bhavartha is as follows- The Acharya author of
the sutra is charitable, he says that the objective cannot be attained by carrying
out different types of vikalpas. How is the person engaged in different types
of vikalpas? The more he indulges in the activities, the more he carries out
vikalpas and accordingly he keeps on being corrupted from experience. For this
reason why does the entire mass of worldly people not progress higher from
nirvikalpa to nirvikalpa experience form manifestations?
How is that
person. He is Nirvikalpa. How is the experience of nirviklpa? In which all the
study, teaching, recollection, contemplation, prayer, worship etc. different
types of vikalpas have been declared to be like poison. In that Nirvikalpa
experience not studying, not teaching, not worshiping etc. all bhavas have been said to be like
treasure of nectar.
Bhavartha is
as follows- The nirvikalpa experience is blissful hence is venerable. Different
types of vikalpas are perturbation form hence are despicable.
Shloka 190: The laziness generated out of weight of passions
is called negligence. How can the bhava of laziness filled with negligence be
described as shuddha bhava? Therefore the Muni who remains stationary in the
own nature of the soul, only he can attain total purity and shortly he gets rid
of the karma bondage.
Kalash 11/190: The jiva who is lazy in experience and accompanied with different types
of vikalpas, that jiva cannot be shuddhopayogi. Why do the laziness in
experience and different types of vikalpas happen? On account of strong
fruition of impure manifestations of ragas etc.
Bhavartha is as follows- The jiva who is lazy
and engages in vikalpas, he is not shuddha. The reason is that laziness,
vikalpas are roots of impure nature. For this reason the Samyak Drishti jiva
manifests in shuddhopayoga form manifestations and being so, becomes free of karma
bondage at the same time. How is the Muni? Engrossed in pure nature in focused
form. How is the nature? It is overflowing with consciousness quality.
Shloka
191: The person who after discarding
all the impurity causing other dravyas definitely, becomes stationary and
attached in his own dravya; that person gets free of all guilts as a rule and
destroys all the bondage. With the bright illumination of his own nature
attained by the purification due to the
nectar of consciousness flowing within self , he gets liberated from karmas.
Kalash 12/191: That Samyak Drishti jiva attains Moksha of the form of blissful
characteristics beyond senses by complete destruction of karmas.
How is he ?
He is separated from impure manifestations of raga-dwesha-moha form. And how is
he? He is endowed with the consciousness quality which is the natural pure
quality of dravya which is manifesting in continuous stream form with blissful
pleasure and is glorious. And how is it? At all times blissful beyond senses.
And how is it? Definitely free of all the raga dwesha moha manifestations of
fine or coarse types.
How does he
attain it? By attaining the state acquired by destruction of gyanavarana etc.
pudgala karma bondage form paryaya . How does he attain it? By renouncing the
oneness of himself with dravya karma, bhava karma, no karma materials by the
roots. How is the other dravya? It is external nimitta form only for impure
manifestations. The Samyak Drishti jiva
is engrossed in pure consciousness with the bliss generated by
nirvikalpa experience.
Bhavartha is
as follows- With the elimination of all impurities the purity of nature is
attained. Its recourse is experience of pure consciousness form. Such is Moksha
Marga.
Shloka 192: Now this knowledge, attaining totality, appears
in glorious form.
What makes it appear? – By breaking the shackles of karma
bondage, the incomparable, indestructible Moksha has appeared.
How does it appear? – Whose natural state of permanently illuminated form is revealed.
And how does it appear? – Singularly pure i.e. there is not even
iota of blemish due to karmas. It has appeared totally pure.
And how does it appear? – Which is weighed with the own
knowledge form bliss making it peaceful and vast. There is no end to it and
there is no perturbation in it.
What does it do after appearing? - Totally immobile , i.e. nothing can shake it
or move it – which is immersed in own glory.
Kalash 13/192: In this manner with the destruction of all karma blemishes, the jiva
dravya, the way it exists with infinite qualities got revealed.
How did it
appear? Manifesting in the form of non karma form state of jiva. How is Moksha?
It is indestructible for future infinitely long period and is incomparable. Why? With the
destruction of existence of gyanavarana etc. eight karmas from their roots.
How is the
pure knowledge? It is revealed with permanent illumination; such pure jiva
dravya having infinite qualities. And how is it? It is pure in every form. And
how is it? It is present with infinite qualities which are permanent at all
times. Why? Due to the magnificence of
the unified infinite knowledge, infinite darshan, infinite bliss, infinite
power qualities. And how is it? It is engrossed in own perturbation free power.
Bhavartha is as follows- The soul dravya is
independent in Moksha having characteristics of destruction of all karmas, in
all other four gatis the jiva is subjugated. Thus the form of Moksha was
described.
