Tattvārthasūtra
Now, the distinction between the yoga of the self with and without passions is explained:
In this context, those that are with passions and those that are without passions, in accordance with the nature of the self, regarding asrava (influx of karmas) are discussed.
While those beings below and up to the tenth gunasthana are to some extent passions (sakaṣāya), those from the eleventh onwards are beyond passions (akaṣāya).
The actions which arise from the self that is influenced by the influx of karmas are termed as sāvara-āchhinna. Just as dust sticks to wet leather, in the same way, through yoga, the actions rooted in passions are connected to the self, leading to a state of association with the self, which is termed as sāpara. On the other hand, actions that are not associated with passions are known as avāṭha, which detach immediately from the self. The state of iryāpatha (momentary condition) is considered only for that period.
The self with passions engages in three types of auspicious and inauspicious actions through yoga, which is termed as sāpara. This means that based on the intensity of passions (kṣāya), the state can be more or less, and it can also serve as a cause for favorable and unfavorable results to the extent possible. However, the passion-free self remains unaffected by such three aspects.
