Soul Science: Samayasara by Jain Acarya Kundakunda
131
Annotation
One may have this notion or doubt that sometimes some Bhāva of a Jñāni may lack Jñana. Based on some physical, vocal, and mental activities of a Jñānī, an Ajñānī may have such notion. Since an Ajñānī identifies a soul with the associated body and mind, therefore, an Ajñānī may have such doubt. To clarify this point, in Gāthā 128, Acarya explains that all Bhāva of a Jñānī are full of Jñāna. A Jñānī never considers any activity of body, mind, and other externals as an activity of the Self, and his soul never considers itself as the doer of activities of the associated body, mind, and other externals, therefore, there cannot be any Ajñāna Bhāva. An Ajñāna Bhāva is that Bhāva which considers the Self as the owner or doer of activities of mind, body, or other externals (see Gāthā 127, 92, 75, 19, etc., in this regard). It may be noted that if at any moment any living being has Bhāva of identifying the Self as the doer or owner of activities of mind, body, or other externals then he is not a Jñānī at that moment.
Similarly, Gāthā 129 clarifies this point that Bhāva of an Ajñānī are filled with Ajñāna.
To explain these points further, Acarya has written Gāthā 130 and 131. In these stanzas he gives an analogy. He wants to say that anything made of gold has characteristics of gold, and anything made of iron has characteristics of iron. In this analogy, if we put Jñāna for gold and Ajñāna for iron then we would say that in case of a Jñānī, Bhāva filled with Jñāna are produced, and in case of an Ajñānī, Bhāva filled with Ajñāna are produced.
अण्णाणस्स स उदओ जा जीवाणं अतच्चउवलद्धी । मिच्छत्तस्स दु उदओ जीवस्स असद्दहाणत्तं ।। 132॥ उदओ असंजमस्सदु जं जीवाणं हवेइ अविरमणं । जो दु कलुसोवओगो जीवाणं सो कसाउदओ ।।133॥ तं जाण जोग उदयं जो जीवाणं तु चिट्ठउच्छाहो । सोहणमसोहणं वा कायव्वो विरदिभावो वा ।। 134 ॥ एदेसु हेदुभूदेसु कम्मइयवग्गणागदं जं तु । परिणमदे अट्ठविहं णाणावरणादिभावेहिं ।।135॥
