    7. What is the nature of the four kinds each of 'Vachan Yoga' and 'Mano Yoga'?

    The four types of tendency of speech or mind of the Jeeva, viz. true & false, mixed and neither true nor false for speaking or thinking about the matter, are respectively called Satya Vachan Yoga, Satya Mano Yoga, etc.

    The tendency of mind occurring about truth, is truth, for example - This is water. The tendency of mind occurring about falsity, is untrue or false, for example telling mirage as water. The matter of both the tendencies (true & false), is called Ubhaya for example telling the Kamandalu as large water-jar. As the Kamandalu is used like a water-jar, hence it is in some respect true and is not of the shape of large water jar, hence it is in some respect false. And which is not the object of true & false such matter is called Anubhaya. For example - The general appearance / inkling, that "there is some thing. Here there can be no decision of truth or falsity, hence it is "Anubhaya" for example - Shravakas request Guruvara Acharya Shri Vidyasagar ji Maharaj to be kind enough to come in their city. His answer will be 'Look'. This is Anubhaya Vachan Yoga, neither true nor false.

    1. Karman Kayayoga - When this Jeeva proceeds in the transmigratory motion (Vigrah gati) after death, at that time which vibration occurs in the soul points due to Karman body, is called Karman Kaya Yoga. Besides transmigratory motion, the Karman Kaya Yoga also takes place in Pratar and Lokpooran Samudghat of the omniscient - (Pratar Samudghat=Emanation of the soul-points of the omniscient which expand in the whole universe leaving the atmospheric air - layers. Lokpooran Samudghat= Emanation of the soul-points of the omniscient which completely pervade the whole universe up to atmospheric air-layers)
    2. Audarika Mishra Kaya Yoga - The Audarika Mishra Kaya Yoga remains in existence at the first instant of the generation of the gross body till the Jeeva completes his bodycompletion ,i.e. till the time the Jeeva is in the process of completing his Sharir Paryapti. Here that Jeeva assumes intake of Audarika molecules mixed with aggregate of Karmic matter-particles, that is called Audarika Mishra Kaya Yoga.
    3. Audarika Kaya Yoga - The gross-body of human and Triyanchas beings, is called Audarika Kaya and vibration occurs due to that gross body is called Audarika Kaya Yoga.
    4. Vaikriyak Mishra Kaya Yoga - The Vaikriyaka Mishra Kaya Yoga remains in existence from the first instant of generation of the transformable body till the Jeeva completes his body-completion (Sharir Paryapti), i.e. till the time the Jeeva is in the process of completing his Sharir Paryapti. During this period that Jeeva assumes intake of transformable molecules mixed with aggregate of Karmic matter-particles, is called Vaikriyaka Mishra Kaya Yoga
    5. Vaikriyaka Kaya Yoga - The transformable body of the deities and infernal beings is called Vaikriyaka body and the vibration taking place due to that Vaikriyaka body ,is called Vaikriyaka Kaya Yoga.
    6. Aharak Mishra Kaya Yoga - The Aharak Mishra Kaya Yoga remains in existence from the first instant of generation of the assimilating body (Aharak Shrir) till the Jeeva completes his body-completion (Sharir Paryapti),i.e. till the time the Jeeva is in the process of completing his specific Sharir Paryapti (Aaharak body) and the vibration taking place due to that Aharak Mishra Body, is called Aharak Mishra Kaya Yoga. During this period that Jeeva assumes intake of gross body( Audarika) molecules mixed with aggregate of Aaharak molecules of matter-particles.
    7. Aharak Kaya Yoga - One white coloured effigy of one hands height emanates from the forehead of the Muni placed in the sixth Gunasthana due to his inquisitiveness for knowing some subtle forms of the reality (Sukshma Tattva). It proceeds directly to the place where the omniscient or great Muni well-versed in entire scriptural knowledge, i.e. Shrut Kevali are seated and after getting solution of his inquisitiveness by the omniscient comes back, it is called Aharak Kaya and the vibration taking place due to that Aharak body, is called Aharak Kaya Yoga.

With regard to gender formation (Dravya Veda) and psychic libido (Bhava Veda) all the three genders are of two types each. Due to rise of gender-quasi passion, the inclination in males for female the inclination in female for males and the desire in the eunuchs for both sexes, is called Bhava Veda (psychic libido) and due to rise of physique making Karma, the formation of external marks / signs of female, male and eunuch, is called Dravya Veda. The male gender is like the fire of gross straw, the female gender like the fire of dung-cake and that of the androgynous like the fire of brickkiln. (Jeeva Kand, Gatha 273-276)

The Dravya Veda and Bhava Veda of one-sensed to four-sensed remain only androgynous gender (Raj vartika, 2/22/5). The female and androgynous by Dravya can have from 1st to five Gunasthanas and male by Dravya Veda can have all the 14 Gunasthanas.

    (1) Mithyatva (Wrong faith) - The non-faith form of transformation towards reality due to rise of wrong-faith-nature, is called Mithyatva.

    (2) Sasadan - The feelings / thought activities which occur between falling from Upsama Samyaktva and non-rise of the nature/configuration of wrong belief due to rise any one of the infinite - binding passion during the time of right faith manifested on suppression of Karmic natures (Upsama Samyaktva), when the minimum one instant and maximum six Avali, is left over that state is called Sasadan Samyaktva.

    (3) Samyag Mithyatva - In which the right and wrong i.e. mixed faith, is found, is called Samyag Mithyatva or Mishra Samyaktva.

    (4)(A) First Upsame right belief' manifested by suppression of Karmas - The right belief which is manifested due to suppression of seven Karmic natures, viz. - Mithyatva (false belief), Samyaga Mithyatva Prakriti (right-cum-wrong Karmic nature related to faith)and Samyak Prakriti (i.e. Karmic nature causing slackness in right faith) of right faith deluding Karma and infinite - binding anger, pride, deceit and greed, is called Prathopsam Samyaktva.

    Specific Mention :- The death does not occur with Prathamopsam Samyaktva as well as binding of age.

    (B) Second Upsame right belief manifested by suppression of Karmas (Dwitiyopsama Samyaktva) - The Upsama Samyaktva which is manifested after Kshayopsama Samyaktva (partial annihilation and partial suppression of Karmas), is called Dwitiyopsama Samyaktva. It also happens due to suppression of afore-said seven Karmic natures. If the Muni of seventh Gunasthana ascends the Upsama ladder then the pure irrevocable right belief (Kshayika Samyaktva) or second Upsama right belief necessarily happens.

    * 1.(The false believer ab-initio suppresses five Karmic nature and the wrong believer degraded from the right-faith suppresses 5, 6 or 7 Karmic natures.)

    16. What is 'Samjñi Margna', how many kinds are there in it and how many Gunasthanas are there in it ?

           ch-57 16.PNG

     

    17. Whether the omniscient is Samjñi or Asamjñi?

    The Omniscient is free from both. The Kevali Lord (omniscient) is not Samjni because being free from knowledge-obscuring and perception-obscuring Karmas, the omniscient does not grasp external matters with the support of the mind, hence omniscient can not be called Samjñi. The omniscient is also not Asamjñi because who has made all the matterssubstances visible before his eyes, hence the inconsistency comes in regarding him Asamjñi. The omniscient is Anubhaya ,i.e. neither Samjñi nor Asamjñi. He is neither Samjñi because he does not have psychical mind nor he is Asamjni because he is not imprudent. Although the Sayoga Kevali (omniscient with vibrations) has Physical mind but not the psychical mind.

     

    18. What is 'Ahaarak Margna', how many kinds are there of it and how many Gunasthanas are there in it?

    To have acquaintance of Jeevas through Ahaaraka and Anaaharaka, is Ahaaraka Margna. It is of two kinds -

    (1) Ahaaraka (Assimilative) - Who consumes intake of aggregate of matter molecules suitable for three types of bodies and six completions (Paryapti), is called Ahaaraka.

    (2) Anaaharaka - Who does not consumes intake of aggregate of matter molecules suitable for three types of bodies and six completions (Paryapti), is called Anaaharaka. The Jeeva remains precisely Anaaharaka during transmigratory motion, during Pratar & Lokpooran Samudghat of the 13th Gunasthana and in the fourteenth Gunasthana.

     

    Specific Mention :- Here the word Ahaar denotes only Nokarmahaar i.e. intake of Nokarmic molecules causing formation of gross body excluding Kavlahaar (Morsel food), Lepahaar (intake of air, natural light, etc.), Ojahaar (absorpational / assimalative intake of body lusture ,etc.), Mansikahaar (mental food), Karmahaar (Karma intake).
