## Sanvara Bhavana and Nirjara Bhavana
**Now, the opposite of Yoga, Pramada and Aviriti is explained.**
**Verse 84:**
> **Meaning:** By the three types of secrecy (guarding the mind, speech and body), one should establish the opposite of Pramada, which is Apramada (non-negligence), in relation to the five types of Pramada (intoxication, indulgence in sense objects, passions, sleep, and idle talk) or the eight types of Pramada (ignorance, doubt, wrong perception, attachment, aversion, forgetfulness, disrespect for Dharma, and wrong tendencies in Yoga). And by abandoning Yoga that involves sinful actions, one should establish Aviriti (non-restlessness) through Viriti (restlessness).
**Now, the opposite of Mithyatva and Artha-Roudra Dhyana is explained.**
**Yoga Shastra, Fourth Light, Verses 84 to 86**
**Verse 85:**
> **Meaning:** One should conquer Mithyatva (false belief) through Samyag Darshan (right faith) and conquer Artha-Roudra Dhyana (meditation with worldly desires) through the stability of the mind in the form of Dharma Dhyana (meditation on Dharma) and Shukla Dhyana (meditation on purity). Who should do this? The Yogi who strives for Sanvara (purification) should do this.
**The meaning of the inner verses related to this is explained.**
**Explanation:**
> Just as dust enters a house with many doors and windows that are not closed, and if the inner walls, windows, or doors are oiled and smooth, the dust sticks to them and becomes one with them. But if the doors are closed, the dust cannot enter and cannot stick to the oil. Or, imagine a pond. If all the ways for water to enter are open, the water enters quickly. But if the entrances are closed, no water can enter. Just as a boat with a hole in it fills with water, but if the hole is closed, no water can enter, similarly, if the three types of Yoga, which are like the doors of Asrava (influx of karma), are stopped from all sides, then the Karmic matter cannot enter the soul, which is in the form of Sanvara (purification). This means that Sanvara stops the doors of Asrava. And Sanvara is of many types, such as Kshama (forgiveness), etc. The one who has achieved Sanvara is called by the name of that Sanvara. Then, the Sanvara that occurs in that Gunasthan (stage of spiritual development) is called by the same name. For example, if Mithyatva arises, then the Gunasthan is called Mithyatva Sanvara. Similarly, in Desh Viriti (non-attachment to place), etc., and in the Gunasthan of Prasanta (tranquility) and Kshina Moha (diminished attachment), etc., there is Kshaya Sanvara. In this way, the Bhavyajiva (soul destined for liberation) should contemplate Sanvara Bhavana, which is the form of Sanvara due to the stoppage of Asrava.
**Aviriti Sanvara is considered to be Pramada Sanvara in the context of Apramatta Samyata (non-negligent restraint), etc.**
**In the A Yogik Kevali Gunasthan (stage of the liberated soul), there is Sanvara of all Yoga.**
**The detailed explanation is given. Therefore, Sanvara Bhavana is the crown jewel in the community of Bhavanas (contemplations).**
**Now, Nirjara Bhavana is explained.**
**Verse 86:**
> **Meaning:** The shedding or separation of Karmas, which are the seeds of worldly existence, from the soul's domain is called Nirjara. It is of two types: Sakama Nirjara and Akarama Nirjara.
**Explanation:**
> In the scriptures, the shedding or separation of Karmas, which are the cause of worldly existence in the form of wandering in the four states of existence, from the soul's domain, with the experience of their essence, is called Nirjara. This Nirjara is of two types: 'May my Karmas be shed' - this is Sakama Nirjara, which is done with desire or with a pure purpose, such as performing austerities. To desire the fruits of this world or the next world is not Nirjara, because it is forbidden for the seeker. It is said, "One should not perform austerities for the sake of worldly happiness, nor for the sake of attaining desired happiness in the next world. One should not perform austerities for the sake of fame, praise, and applause. One should not perform austerities for any purpose other than the benefit of Nirjara (purification of the soul)." (Dasha Va. 9/4) This is the nature of Sakama Nirjara. In contrast, Akarama Nirjara is devoid of the aforementioned desires. It is devoid of the desire, 'May my sinful Karmas be destroyed.'
