## 42] The Jiva-Jiva-Abhigamsutra (principle of interaction between souls) does not have a specific form or structure. It is unstructured. Therefore, one should understand the Hund-Sansthan (body) of subtle earth-bodied beings as being like a lentil in shape. / 5. Kashayadwar (doorway of passions) - The place where beings are bound and suffer is called Kashay, which is the cycle of existence. / The passions are the cause of beings' transmigration and wandering in the cycle of existence. / There are four passions: anger, pride, deceit, and greed. / All four passions are found in subtle earth-bodied beings. Although these passions and their external signs are not visible in these beings, they are present due to subtle effects. They are present due to the peculiarity of subtle effects from non-enjoyment, even if they are not visible. 6. Sanjnaadwar (doorway of consciousness) - There are two types of consciousness: 1. Knowledge-based consciousness and 2. Experience-based consciousness. / Knowledge-based consciousness is the five types of knowledge: Matijnana (perception), Shrutajnana (scriptural knowledge), Avadhijnana (clairvoyance), Manahparyaya (mind-reading), and Kevaljnana (omniscience). Experience-based consciousness is the experience of the fruits of self-created, non-perceivable karma. Here, experience-based consciousness is dominant because knowledge-based consciousness is included in the doorway of knowledge. There are four types of experience-based consciousness: 1. Aharasanjna (consciousness of food), 2. Bhayasanjna (consciousness of fear), 3. Maithunasajna (consciousness of sexual desire), and 4. Parigrahasajna (consciousness of attachment). Aharasanjna is the desire for food, which is the result of hunger-causing karma. Bhayasanjna is the fear that arises from fear-causing karma. Maithunasajna is the desire for sexual pleasure that arises from the awakening of the senses. Parigrahasajna is the attachment that arises from greed. Aharasanjna etc. are forms of desire and arise from the awakening of mohaniya karma (karma that causes delusion). These four types of consciousness are present in subtle earth-bodied beings in an unmanifest form. / 7. Lenyaadwar (doorway of attachment) - The cause of the soul's attachment to karma is Leshya. / Leshyas are the auspicious and inauspicious effects that occur in the soul due to the proximity of substances like black, blue, etc. / Just as a crystal gem has no color of its own, it is transparent, but it takes on the color of the object placed near it, similarly, the auspicious and inauspicious effects that arise in the soul due to the proximity of substances like black, blue, etc. are called Leshyas. The scholars have described six types of Leshyas: 1. Krishna Leshya (black), 2. Neel Leshya (blue), 3. Kapoot Leshya (grey), 4. Tejo Leshya (radiant), 5. Padma Leshya (red), and 6. Shukla Leshya (white). The scholars have explained the nature of these Leshyas through the example of six men who eat jamun fruit. It is as follows: Six men lost their way and sat under a jamun tree in the forest and began to think. One man said that the tree should be uprooted. Another man said that it should not be uprooted but the trunk should be cut. The third said that the large branches should be cut. 1.
