को नाम भणेद् बुध परद्रव्य ममेद भवति द्रव्यम् ।
आत्मानमात्मन परिग्रह तु नियत विजानन् ॥२०७॥ 207 How can the wise man who realises that the Self alone is the property of the Self, really maintain these alien objects, such as his body, as genuinely his own property?
COMMENTARY
Even an ignoramus cannot make the mistake of identifying his self with the external objects Thus it is quite obvious that a wise map can never make such a mistake He will always be able to discern the difference between his Self and non-Self
मझ परिग्गहो जइ नदो अहमजीवद तु गच्छेज्ज ।
णादेव अह जमातह्माण परिग्गहो मज्भ ॥२०८॥ Majjham pariggaho jayı tado ahamajivadam tu gachchejja Nādeva ahan jamhā tamhā na pariggaho majjham (208)
मम परिग्रहो यदि ततोऽहमजीवता तु गच्छेय ।
ज्ञातैवाह यस्मात्तस्मान्न परिग्रहो मम ॥२०८॥ 208 External things owned by me, if they are absolutely of my nature, then I must become non-living (like them) Because I am a Knowing Self, therefore the objects possessed by me are not of my nature
छिज्जदु वा भिज्जदु वा णिज्जदु वा अहव जादु विप्पलय ।
जम्हा तम्हा गच्छदु तहावि ण परिग्गहो मज्झ ॥२०९॥ Chchijjadu vā bhijjadu vā nijjaduvā ahava jādu vippalayam Jahuhā tamhā gachchadu tahāvi na pariggaho majjha (209)
छिद्यता वा भिद्यता वा नीयता वा अथवा यातु विप्रलयम् ।
यस्मात्तस्माद् गच्छतु तथापि न परिग्रहो मम ||२०९॥ 209 It may be cut, it may be split, it may be dragged or it may be destroyed, whatever manner of deformity it undergoes even then it (the body or any other external object) does not concern me as it is not really mine
COMMENTARY The various ways of maiming the body or other external
