STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT
disgust produces a kind of misery: and in the ideal man there must be no nisery: also there is no sepse of disgust when it is known that the object of disgust could only exist in those conditions: if there is disgust it is because only one or two of the aspects of the object are considered; if all the aspects are known then there is not any disgust: and so if there is any sense of disgust it shows lack of knowledge, and in the Arhat or Deva, or Deity there must be no lack of knowledge.
11. You do not find sorrow. Sorrow is a misery. He may have compassion.
12. Sexual passion or lust has disappeared entirely ; because in that state a person will do all kiads of wrong things to gratify the passion.
13. His attitude of belief and convictions is correct; he is not in any state of intoxication or delusion. All sigos of greed, anger, killing etc. juust have gone. He has dismissed mithyatva.
14. Ignoranee has gone, and therefore he is Omuiscient.
15. He never goes into the state of sleep. If there is any hitch in the continuity of his onniscience then he is not an Arbat.
16. He has a perfect control over his desires; over any desire to please the eye, or the taste, or the ear, or the sense of touch.
