________________ (5 ) 30. If that soal becomes matter substance, the other (i.e. matter) will gain soulness. Then (you) can say that this matter substance is mine. 31. If soul (is) the body, lauding of Tirthamkaras and also of Acharya (head of saints) is wrong: therefore the soul is only the body. 32. The practical standpoint tells ( that ) soul and body are certainly one, but from the real standpoint soul and body (are) not one substance at any time whatsoever. 33. By lauding this material body (which is) separate from the soul, a saint understands that the perfect deity is lauded (and) adored by him, 34. That (lauding) is not from the real standpoint. The qualities of the body are not found really in the perfect soul. He who lauds the attributes of the perfect soul really lauds the perfect soul, 35. As admiring the city can never become admiration of the king (so by) lauding the qualities of the body the attributes of the perfect soul are never lauded. 36. He, who having corqured the senses, realises the soul (as) full of its own inherent knowledge, him they, who (are) saints (and) knowers of the real stand point really call a conqueror of the senses. 37 The saints, the knowers of reality, call him a conqueror of delusion, who, having conquered delusion, realises the soul (as) full of its own inherent knowledge. 38. And when destruction of delusion takes place in a saint, the conqueror of delusion, then verily he is called delusionless by the knowers of reality. 39. As self knowledge renounces all (impure) thought
