191445906 A Muni who has performed all the necessary actions is worthy of meditation for the cessation of worldly existence. There, meditating on the dravya-paramāṇu or the bhāva-paramāṇu is not the point. The vitarka-sāmaya is the transition of the mind in the form of meaning and expression, body and speech, separately. The mind, being insufficient, like a child with excessive enthusiasm, unstable and unrefined, even with a weapon, cuts through the nature of delusion slowly, pacifying and destroying it. This is the vitarka-vīcara-dhyāna. The same Muni, desiring to burn the root of delusion, relying on the special purity of infinite virtues, prevents the bondage of many natures that are supportive of the knowledge-obscuring karma, reduces and destroys the state of karma, and is endowed with the use of śruta-jñāna, free from the transition of meaning, expression, and yoga, with a steady mind, with diminished kṣaya, like a vaidūrya gem, free from impurities, meditates and does not return. This is called the ekattva-vitarka-dhyāna. Thus, the ekattva-vitarka śukla-dhyāna, like a fire that has burned the four ghatiya karma as fuel, whose rays of pure knowledge are illuminated, shining like the sun that has emerged from the obstruction of the cloud, such a Bhagavān, Tīrthankara, Kevali, or ordinary Kevali, is worthy of being approached and worshipped by the Indras, and dwells in the world for a period of time slightly less than a previous koti. When he has only an antarmukha-muhurta of life remaining, and the state of vedaniya, nāma, and gotra karma is equal to the remaining āyu-karma, then he abandons all types of vāc-yoga, mano-yoga, and bāhu-kāya-yoga, and embracing the sūṣma-kāya-yoga, accepts the sūṣma-kriyā-pratipāti-dhyāna. But when those sāyogī, who have only an antarmukha-muhurta of life remaining, and the state of the remaining three karmas is greater than that, then those who have attained the atiśaya of ātmopāyoga, who have the support of samāyika, who are endowed with special causes, who are performing the mahā-samvara, who are digesting the laghu-karma, who are free from transition, are called vīcara. This type of transformation is called vīcara. This fourfold dharmya-dhyāna and śukla-dhyāna, described in general and specific terms, when combined with many methods such as gupti, etc., is worthy of meditation for the destruction of the world by a Muni who has performed all the necessary actions properly. Just as a child with insufficient enthusiasm, unstable and with a blunt weapon, pierces the chest over a long period of time, so too, one who has attained the power of the mind, meditating on the dravya-paramāṇu and the bhāva-paramāṇu, pacifies and destroys the nature of the delusion-inducing karma, through the mind that transitions separately in meaning and expression, body and speech. This is the vitarka-vīcara-dhyāna. Again, one who desires to burn the root of delusion-inducing karma, who has attained the special purity of infinite virtues, who prevents the bondage of many natures that are supportive of the knowledge-obscuring karma, who reduces and destroys the state of karma, who is endowed with the use of śruta-jñāna, who is free from the transition of meaning, expression, and yoga, with a steady mind, with diminished kṣaya, like a vaidūrya gem, free from impurities, meditates and does not return. This is called the ekattva-vitarka-dhyāna. Thus, the ekattva-vitarka śukla-dhyāna, like a fire that has burned the four ghatiya karma as fuel, whose rays of pure knowledge are illuminated, shining like the sun that has emerged from the obstruction of the cloud, such a Bhagavān, Tīrthankara, Kevali, or ordinary Kevali, is worthy of being approached and worshipped by the Indras, and dwells in the world for a period of time slightly less than a previous koti. When he has only an antarmukha-muhurta of life remaining, and the state of vedaniya, nāma, and gotra karma is equal to the remaining āyu-karma, then he abandons all types of vāc-yoga, mano-yoga, and bāhu-kāya-yoga, and embracing the sūṣma-kāya-yoga, accepts the sūṣma-kriyā-pratipāti-dhyāna. But when those sāyogī, who have only an antarmukha-muhurta of life remaining, and the state of the remaining three karmas is greater than that, then those who have attained the atiśaya of ātmopāyoga, who have the support of samāyika, who are endowed with special causes, who are performing the mahā-samvara, who are digesting the laghu-karma, who are free from transition, are called vīcara. This type of transformation is called vīcara.
