 Brief Description of Swadhyaya Topic:

हमारे स्वाध्याय का विषय आचार्य हरिभद्रसूरी रचित "योगदृष्टि समुच्चय" है।  उनकी रचनाओं में “योगदृष्टि समुच्चय” जैनयोग का अन्यन्त महत्त्वपूर्ण ग्रन्थ है। यह ग्रन्थ संस्कृत में है और उसमे २२८ श्लोक है।  आचार्य हरिभद्र ने आत्मा के विकास-क्रम को योग पद्धति पर एक नए रूप में विश्लेषित किया है। इस ग्रन्थ में मित्रा, तारा, बला, दीप्रा, स्थिरा, कान्ता, प्रभा और परा  - इन आठ योगदृष्टिओं का विस्तृत वर्णन है।  इसमें योग-साधकों के उपकार हेतु उन्होंने इच्छायोग, शास्त्रयोग और सामर्थ्ययोग स्वरूप व्यक्त किया है।  और अंत में योग के अधिकारी के रूप में गोत्रयोगी, कुलयोगी, प्रवृत्तचक्रयोगी और सिद्धयोगी - इन चार योगियों का वर्णन किया है।  आचार्य हरिभद्र ने इस ग्रन्थ पर १०० पद्य प्रमाण वृति लिखी है जो ११७५ श्लोक परिमाण है।

 श्री बृहत्कल्पभाष्य में कहा है - " नवि अत्थि न वि अ होही, सज्झाय समं तवो कम्मं" अर्थात "स्वाध्याय के समान दूसरा तप न अतीत में था, न कोई वर्तमान में है और न भविष्य में होगा। "

तप के बाह्य (६)और अभ्यन्तर (६) भेद है और "स्वाध्याय" अभ्यन्तर तप में है।

"ज्ञानक्रियाभ्याममोक्षः" अर्थात "ज्ञान और क्रिया (आचरण) के सम्यग संयोग से मोक्ष प्राप्ति है।"
