________________ [2] 7. From the practical (point of view) (right) conduct, belief, and knowledge are predicated of the knowing soul. But (from the non-differential point of view there is) neither knowledge nor conduct nor belief. The knower (is) pare (koover itself). 8. But as a non-Aryan (is) never capable of understand. ing without a non-Aryan tongae, so withoat practical stand. point, an exposition of reality is impossible. 9 The saints, (who are) the expounders of the Universe, call him a knower of Scriptore, who in reality, from know. ledge of the scriptures, knows this very soul (10 be) absolutely pare. 10. The Conquerors call him a knower of scriptural knowledge who has all scriptural knowledge; because the soul (is) knowledge, therefore it is also) the knower of scriptural knowledge (Shrata Kevali). 11. Meditation must verily be performed in (right) belief, knowledge and conduct. Bat they all three (are) the soul: therefore perform meditation in the (pure) soul itself. 12 The saint, who (is) always attentive to this soul meditation, follows (true) right conduct. He attains libera. tion from all troubles in a short time. 13. The practical standpoint does not yield the real meaning. But the pure (or real) standpoint has been said to give the real meaning. The soul dependent on the real standpoint verily is a right believer. 14. The real standpoint expounds pore substance. It should be meditated upon by the seers of real substance. But the practical standpoint is said (to be of use for) those who fare) fixed in the lower thought activity.
