It is not a rule that action takes place only when hands and feet are moved; the Svabhava of the object is at work. Mercury that is gross is place in the store of corn; the very presence of the mercury prevents decay in the store. How could then there take place decay in the mind in which the most powerful Arihanta Paramatma is seated? How can the decay of ill inclinations be there? Thus, the coming of the Navakara no doubt purifies the mind. Delusion comes to an end. Austerity, observance of rules and self-control gradually evolve in the heart of the Sadhaka. The measuring-rod of the Sadhana of the Navakara is enrichment of these and the awakening of the Atmabhava.
When one submits to the rein of one's life to the Navakara, the Navakara itself becomes the charioteer, gets the chanter seated in the chariot of austerity, control and observance of rules. All the calamities and obstructions coming on the way are crossed over, the travel over the mundane life is made full of facilities and the worshipper successfully reaches the city of liberation.
May all the Jivas in the world have a charioteer in form of the Navakara and may all reach the city of bliss.
