The man who turns himself away from worldly occupations that cause demerit (pāpa) and engages in auspicious-cognition
(śubhopayoga), but entertains delusion (moha), attachment (rāga) and aversion (dvesa), cannot attain his pure soul-nature.
Explanatory Note: The man who, after shunning activities that cause demerit (pāpa) and having vowed to establish himself in excellent conduct known as ‘equanimity’ (sāmāyika), when swayed by the wicked woman appearing in form of delusion (moha) engages himself in auspicious-cognition (śubhopayoga). Unable to conquer the army of delusion (moha), he faces many kinds of misery and does not attain the pure and pristine soul-nature. Therefore, I have decided to win over the army of delusion (moha).
