SAMAYSARA
Uvaghāyam kuvvantassa tassa nānāvihehi karanehim Nichchhayado chintijjadu kim pachchayagodu rayavandho (239)
उपघात कुर्वतस्तस्य नानाविधै करणै । . निश्चयतश्चिन्त्यता तु कि प्रत्ययकस्तु रजोबध ॥२३९॥ जो सो दु णेहभावो तम्हि णरे तेण तस्स रयबधो ।
णिच्छयदो विण्णेय ण कायचेट्ठाहि सेसाहि ॥२४०। Jo so du nehabhavo tamhi nare tena tassa rayavandho Nichchhayado vinneyam na kâyachetthahım sesāhım (240)

Certainly it is the oil smeared on his body that must be considered to be the real cause of the dust-deposit and certainly not his various bodily activities In the same way a wrong believer even while he is engaged in various activities, only if he performs those activities with feeling of attachment then certainly he gets covered with karmic dust
COMMENTARY Here is a person, smeared with oil all over the body, standing in a place which is naturally full of dust He is engaged in sword exercise He assumes various postures of his body in his rapid
