Chapter # 4.6 Forth spiritual development stage.
500. What is meant by right belief with vow-less conduct (Avirat samyag drasti), which
occurs in the fourth spiritual developmental stage?
The suppression, partial suppression / partial annihilation or annihilation of three types of right faith deluding karma and four types of infinitely bonded passions, give the soul the right faith. In this fourth stage, there is the presence of partial vow conduct passions, which prevent the soul's being not able to accept the Vows. How many types of karma bondage occur within this fourth spiritual developmental stage?
501.
In the third spiritual developmental stage, 74 types of karma occurred in bondage. Here one has to add three more types, so that 77 types of bondage are present in fourth spiritual developmental stages. These three are as follow:
1. The human life determining karma. 2. The celestial life determining karma. 3. The tirthankar body making karma.
502.
How many types of karma come into fruition in this fourth spiritual developmental stage?
In the third stage 100 types of karma reached fruition. In the fourth stage since there is no right/wrong belief karma, 99 achieve fruition. To these 99, one now has to include five more for a total of 104. These additional five include:
• Four transmigratory forms, and • One clouded right belief (Samyaktva Mohaniya) form.
503.
How many types of karma remain in a dormancy state in this fourth spiritual developmental stage?
All 148 types remain in dormancy in the fourth spiritual developmental stage. However the soul with the right belief, due to the annihilation of karma has only 141 types. The seven excluded types are:
