## Fourth Stage (Chaturthi Dasha)
**With Hindi Commentary**
**Original Meaning:** What is "Varna-Sanjwalnata"? "Varna-Sanjwalnata" is described as having four types: one who speaks of the true qualities, one who refutes the "Avarnavadi" (one who does not speak of the qualities), one who praises the "Varnavadi" (one who speaks of the qualities), and one who serves the elders with their soul. This is called "Varna-Sanjwalnata".
**Commentary:** This sutra describes "Varna-Sanjwalnata", a type of humility. The word "Varna" originates from the root "Varna", meaning to expand speech. In this context, "Varna-Sanjwalnata" refers to "Gunanuvaad" (praising the qualities) or "Yashogaan" (praising the glory). Four types of this are described. For example, a disciple should refute those who constantly criticize the Acharya (teacher) or others, by giving a proper response and silencing them. They should also educate them with logic so that they never dare to commit such evil acts in the future. One should praise and encourage those who praise the Gan (group) or Acharya, and introduce them to the public. Along with this, one should serve the elders with their soul. If the elders are nearby, one should serve them with devotion. Even if they are far away, one should be present in their service by performing their actions.
This sutra teaches everyone that one should only describe the qualities that exist, not the ones that don't. However, one should definitely educate those who criticize the Acharya or the Gan in any way.
After this, the sutrakar (author) describes "Bhar-Pratyavarohaanta" (humility):
"What is "Bhar-Pachchoruhaanta"? "Bhar-Pachchoruhaanta" is described as having four types: one who is united with the "Asanghiya-Parijan" (those who are not united), one who is united with the "Ayar Goyar" (those who are not united), one who stands firm in the face of the "Sahammia" (those who are united) who are being oppressed, and one who stands firm in the face of the "Sahammia" who are being accused."
