ATMA-SIDDHI
Or, if the true teacher has ordered the reading of such scriptures, then the pupil should always contemplate such, after giving up the disputations and distinctions of the different schools of thought.
15
Self-conceit should be given up रोके जीव स्वछंद तो, पामे अवश्य मोक्ष । पाम्या एम अनंत छे, भाख्युं जिन निर्देष ॥ १५ ॥ रुन्धीत जीवः स्वातन्त्र्यं प्राप्नुयान्मुक्तिमेव तु । एवमनन्ताः संप्राप्ता उक्तमेतज्जिनेश्वरैः ॥ १५ ॥

(If) the soul restrains its own whimsical, ( delusion-born ) self-guidance, it certainly attains liberation. In the past, liberation has been attained thus by infinite souls:-this is said by the faultless conqueror. 16
प्रत्यक्ष सद्गुरुयोगथी, स्वछंद ते रोकाय । अन्य उपाय कर्या थकी, प्राये बमणो थाय ॥ १६ ॥ प्रत्यक्ष सद्गुरुयोगात् स्वातन्त्र्यं रुध्यते तकत् । अन्यैस्तु साधनोपायैः प्रायो द्विगुणमेव स्यात् ॥ १६ ॥
By the nearness of a visible true teacher, the whimsical self-guidance is restrained. By adopting other means, it on the contrary (increases) becomes two-fold.
