Scientists know that the dance, music, dialogues, etc. on the TV screen cannot appear without the electric power supply but the source of scenes and music from the TV is not the electric power supply. Scientists know that the 220 volt supply line does not possess such signals of dance, music, etc.
(Taken from annotations of stanzas 198-200)
The ego calls an achievement when someone acquires material prosperity and control over others, whereas the process of liberation starts with the acceptance of the truth. In the spiritual world, the acceptance of the truth as well as the true ownership of the soul is the most important achievement. The ownership over others and any desire of changing and controlling others go against the liberation.
(Taken from annotations of stanzas 203-204) In true sense, that which always stays with you is yours. Acarya Kundakunda is using this criterion to state that the Self is the possession of the Self. Further, it is well known that the physical body, house, jewelry, etc. do not stay with oneself forever. Therefore, a wise person, on the basis of this realization, does not consider house, jewelry, etc. as his possessions in the real sense.
(Taken from annotations of stanza 207)
An enlightened being does not commit any mistake of identifying others, such as physical body, as the Self. However, such an enlightened being as a person may have worldly liking and disliking. This stanza asserts that despite the presence of such liking and disliking, he as a soul remains unattached with these, i.e., he as a soul does not consider himself an owner of such liking and disliking.
