Sri Laxmi Narayan Aithal
AGENCY, ETC. ARE THE TRAITS OF EGOTISM?
(Objection: -) It doesn’t seem
to be proper
to tell that
there is not
any relationship between
the body and
ourselves. For, there
is a property-proprietary relationship
between the body
and ourselves. The body is ours and we are its owners. We perform actions through the body, etc. And enjoy their resultant fruits. In
order to enjoy
the fruits of
actions performed previously
this body has
been endowed to
us; and in
the future also,
in this manner,
we can have
other bodies, isn’t
it?
(Relief: -) In the practical
view, the following
concepts are real: (1).We
have instruments like
body, organs of
sense, mind, etc;
(2) by using
them we perform
actions to acquire
merits and demerits;
(3) and from
them again we
get future bodies.
