Then isn’t it obvious that the negative feelings of love,
and hatred etc. would get nullified ? One should not
restrict love for those who are concerned about your
well-being and harbor no hatred towards those who
betray you.

One should harbor the same detached feeling for both. How
is this possible ? Only by the efforts undertaken by the
Lord’s soul. At the end of 12 years, 6 months and 15 days,
this purushartha reached a different level and Lord finally
became Vitraag Parmatma, by destroying all the remaining
Mohaniya Karmas. In no time, he destroyed the Gyanavarniya,
Darshanavarniya and Antraya karmas which opened the
doors for kevalgyana. Isn’t this the enormous strength of
purushartha ? Is this situation possible if purushartha was
working under karmas or dependent on karmas.

Purushartha is an independent factor above karmas.

If you understand the individuality of all the 5 factors, you
will not participate in or spread talks like,

“All the states of existence of future, past or present are
written in our destiny.”
“Efforts in religion are possible only if karmas are
favourable.”

“Right efforts are also not possible unless the right time has
arrived.”

“If destiny is favourable, it will surely lead to right purushartha.
Since we cannot make efforts towards religion, it means that
destiny is not in our favour.”

“Karma is a non-living object. One object cannot influence
another. Hence, the living object-soul’s efforts are not
influenced by any non-living object like karma.”
