Such a man, his understanding being fully shown, never finds fault with the course of conduct that prevails in the world. One conversant with Liberation says that the Supreme Soul is without beginning and without end; that it takes birth as all creatures; that it resides in the Individual Soul; that it is inactive, and without form. Only that man who meets with grief on account of his own misdeeds, kills numerous creatures for the purpose of preventing that grief. On account of such sacrifices, the performers have to go through re-births and have necessarily to perform numberless deeds on all sides.
लोके बुद्धिप्रकाशेन लोकमार्गो न रिष्यते। अनादिनिधनं जन्तुमात्मनि स्थितमव्ययम्॥ अकर्तारममूर्तं च भगवानाह तीर्थवित्। यो जन्तुः स्वकृतैस्तैस्तैः कर्मभिनित्यदुःखितः॥ स दुःखप्रतिघातार्थं हन्ति जन्तूननेकधा। ततः कर्म समादत्ते पुनरन्यन्नवं बहु॥
