तत्त्वार्थ सूत्र (मोक्षशास्त्र - संस्कृत सूत्र एवं हिन्दी व्याख्या)

Pragyasagarji, and asked him to have a look at the proofs. In the
meantime, he very kindly handed over to me several of his recent
publications, and two different books on Āchārya Kundkund’s
Samaysār. One was a palm-sized book⁴ from which he asked me to
reflect upon the following verse –
एदम्हि रदो णिच्चं संतुट्ठो होहि णिच्चमेदम्हि ।
एदेण होहि तित्तो होहिदि तुह उत्तमं सोक्खं ।।
(7-14-206)
[O bhavya!] (potential aspirant to liberation), you must
always adore this knowledge (Right Knowledge), in it only
you must remain contented, and in it only you must remain
immersed; you will thus attain supreme bliss.
How naturally and incessantly the Āchārya was engaged in the
process of purging the soul of everyone who came in contact with
him from the mire of karmic matter, with the pure water of Right
Knowledge!
He acquiesced to write the Foreword for the book. The book was
now going to have a ‘soul’. His compassion pulled out the
emotional sting that was causing me concern. I again touched the
pious feet of the Āchārya with my forehead as he went inside.
