[Essential Sutra
Meditation.]
Kayotsarga is of two types - Dravyakayotsarga and Bhavakayotsarga. Standing still in one place with the Jin-mudra, abandoning all bodily movements and activities, is Dravyakayotsarga. Abandoning Artha and Raudra dhyanas and engaging in Dharma and Shukla dhyanas, letting the flow of auspicious thoughts in the mind, establishing the soul in its pure original form - this is Bhavakayotsarga. _ 'So Pun Kaussaggo Davvato Bhavato Ya Bhavati, Davvato Kayachettan Niroho, Bhavato Kaussaggo
- Acharya Jinadas in Uttaradhyayanasutra has said that Kayotsarga is completely free from all suffering.
Whether it is Kayotsarga or any other action, it is only fruitful when done with feeling. The importance of Kayotsarga that has been shown above is actually the importance of Kayotsarga done with feeling. Bhavavihin, mere Dravyakayotsarga is not the cause of self-purification. To clarify this fact, an Acharya has mentioned four forms of Kayotsarga, which are as follows:
1. **Uthit-Uthit:** When the practitioner doing Kayotsarga stands with both body and feeling, i.e., when he abandons Durdhyana and engages in Dharma-Shukla dhyana, then he performs Uthit-Uthit Kayotsarga. This form is completely desirable.
2. **Uthit-Niviṣṭ:** Standing with the body but not with feeling, i.e., doing Durdhyana. This form is undesirable.
3. **Upaviṣṭ-Uthit:** A weak or very old practitioner may not be able to stand, but he stands with feeling - he is absorbed in auspicious dhyana, then his Kayotsarga is called Upaviṣṭ-Uthit. This form is also desirable.
4. **Upaviṣṭ-Niviṣṭ:** When a careless practitioner does not stand with either body or feeling, then this is the form of Kayotsarga. This is not actually Kayotsarga, but only a pretense of Kayotsarga.
While performing the fifth essential form of Kayotsarga, although other texts are also recited, the focus on 'Logass' is the main part. This will be clear from the method mentioned elsewhere.
