समयसार (प्राकृत गाथा एवं हिन्दी-अंग्रेजी व्याख्या)

अध्याय - 8
weapons like sword, dagger etc., pierces and slits clusters of
trees such as palm, tamāl, plantain, and bamboo, and breaks up
animate and inanimate objects; think about the real reason why
he does not attract dust particles onto his body while performing
such destructive activities.
The stickiness of oil applied on his body was the reason for him
attracting dust particles; know for sure that this attraction was
not due to his bodily actions.
In the same way, a right believer, while engaged in various
activities, does not attract karmic dust due to the absence of
dispositions like attachment.
ज्ञानी और अज्ञानी की पहचान -
जो मण्णदि हिंसामि य हिंसिज्जामि य परेहि सत्तेहिं।
सो मूढो अण्णाणी णाणी एत्तो दु विवरीदो॥ (8-11-247)
जो पुरुष मानता है कि मैं परजीव को मारता हूँ और दूसरे जीवों के द्वारा मैं मारा जाता
हूँ, वह पुरुष मोही और अज्ञानी है; और जो इससे विपरीत है (जो ऐसा नहीं
मानता), वह ज्ञानी है।
The man who believes that he kills other beings and gets killed
by other beings, is under delusion and is ignorant. The man who
thinks otherwise is the knower.
