अध्याय -3 modification in the soul which, by nature, is immutable? If you believe that the soul undergoes emotional modification of anger on its own accord, then it will be false to say that the karmic matter of anger causes emotional modification (of anger) in the soul. (Therefore, it follows that-) The soul which manifests its consciousness in the psychic state of anger is anger itself; the soul which manifests its consciousness in the psychic state of pride is pride itself; the soul which manifests its consciousness in the psychic state of deceitfulness is deceitfulness itself; and the soul which manifests its consciousness in the psychic state of greed is greed itself.
आत्मा अपने भावों का कर्ता है - जं कुणदि भावमादा कत्ता सो होदि तस्स कम्मस्स। णाणिस्स दु णाणमओ अण्णाणमओ अणाणिस्स॥
(3-58-126)
आत्मा जिस भाव को करता है वह उस भावकर्म का कर्ता होता है। ज्ञानी के तो ज्ञानमय भाव होता है और अज्ञानी के अज्ञानमय भाव होता है।
Whatever psychic mode the soul manifests itself into, it is the causal agent of that mode. The knowledgeable soul manifests itself into a disposition that is abundant with knowledge, and the ignorant soul manifests itself into a disposition of unawareness.
