CHARACTERISTICS OF SADHU (ASCETIC MONK)

Further, excepting the preceding above two types of rank-holders, the rest are all those who hold monk's rank and are engrossed in attaining the nature of the soul and do not ramble their Upayoga (active consciousness) in other substances by treating them agreeable or disagreeable, thus they try to tranquillize the Upayoga and externally observe religious penances, rituals, etc., as being instrumental cause and sometimes engage themselves in invocation, obeisance and such other activities.

Such are the true Jaina monks who incessantly make efforts for the realisation of the self soul; I bow to all such ascetic monks.
