________________ praise worthy state or excellent state (prashasta avastha) and becomes free off unworthy (aprashasta avastha) state. When a seeker unites with the prashasta sadhana, then his infinite Ghati karmas get eradicated. We have often heard and even talked about it in pratikraman, that there are four Ghati Karmas and four Ghanghati Karmas. What is Ghati, Ghangahti and Agahti? The karmas that destroy the virtues of the soul are Ghati karma! The karmas that are for inanimate and motionless, arise from inanimate, karmas that become the support of such inanimate karmas are called Aghati karma! The karmas that have become one with the soul are Ghanghati karma! The karmas that the soul binds are of different categories. For example, take a bucket. Fill it with water. Now pour a spoon full of indigo in it. The water will become blue. Now if we put two spoons, the water will become blue. If we put one kilo indigo in it, not only will the water become extremely blue but it will also become thick. If we keep on increasing the amount of indigo in the water and if we put about ten kilos of indigo, the water will not only become too blue but also too thick, almost like semi-liquid.
