________________ PHILOSOPHY B14 - Fourteen Gunasthäna: Stages of Spiritual Development Pramattasamyat Pramäda, Kashaya & Yoga Kashaya & Yoga Ärta & Dharma Dharma Apramattasamyat Apurvakaran All Six (Krishna, Neel, Kapot Tejo, Padma & Shukla) Only Auspicious ones (Tejo, Padma & Shukla) Shukla Kashäya & Yoga Kashaya & Yoga Shukla 10 Kashaya & Yoga Shukla Anivritti Bädara Sukshmasamparaya Upashammoha Kshinamoha Sayogi Dharma & Shukla Dharma & Shukla Dharma & Shukla Dharma & Shukla Dharma & Shukla Shukla Antarätmä (Introvert) Antarätmä (Introvert) Antarätmä (Introvert) Antarätmä (Introvert) Antarätmä (Introvert) Antarätmä (Introvert) Antarätmä (Introvert) Paramätmä (Perfect Soul) Paramätmä (Perfect Soul) Yoga Shukla Yoga Shukla Yoga Param Shukla Kevali 14 Ayogi Kevali None Shukla None (Aleshi – no Leshyä) Thus, it is clear from the above that the whole scheme of Gunasthäna is derived according to the principle of decreasing sinfulness and increasing purity of the soul and the lessening of Karma bondage. To progress on this scale, the being has to eliminate each of the causes leading to Karma bondage in the successive order stated above (i.e. Mithyätva, Avirati, Pramäda, Kashaya and Yoga) one by one. Thus, one can bring refinement in its own qualities (the Guna) and therefore the name - fourteen stages of progress of the soul - is the Fourteen Gunasthäna.
