[17] Removing the Root Cause of Opinions
323
Self complex (pudgal) could express its feelings it would say:
‘I was always pure! It is you who has contaminated me
with your intent (bhaav). I had neither bones, nor blood, nor
pus. I was absolutely pure. You have defiled me. Unless you
make me as pure as You are, You will not attain final liberation.’

by his karma effect) and so he is nirdosh (faultless). ‘He is a
Shuddhatma and the external is nirdosh.’ Now tell me, can you
not remain opinion free all the time?
Binding of Grave Karma
Questioner: A human being binds so many karmas, day
