(demerits) which ensures that they remain stuck in the sorrowful cycle of transmigration.
Thus, 'abhavya' (souls intrinsically incapable of attaining liberation} souls, despite accomplishing 'granthi desha', mastering the scriptures and taking the external vows of an ascetic, cannot ever break out of the cycle of transmigration. It is pitiable that 'abhavya' souls, by their very nature, cannot ever attain 'apuurvakarana'. Nor can they ever attain liberation.
Durbhavya Jiva (soul intrinsically capable of attaining liberation but remaining in transmigration}
Such living beings are innately capable of attaining liberation. However, their liberation is distant. At the current moment, they are not prepared for it. Their time is not ripe. So even if they manage to accomplish 'granthi bheda' they cannot attain the stage of apuurvakarana (where unrealised potential begins to come to fruition).
Bhavya Jiva (soul intrinsically capable of attaining liberation}
Even those souls, who are capable of attaining liberation, only accomplish granthi bheda and rise higher when their bhavitavyataa (destiny) and other qualities fall in place.
The opportunity to attain apuurvakarana arises several times in one's lifetime. Even abhavya living beings who are innately incapable of attaining liberation get endless opportunities to attain apuurvakarana. One who has accomplished granthidesha can remain in that stage for a maximum duration of innumerable years. If he cannot make further progress in that duration, he shall fall back to his earlier stage of regression. Remaining in the stage of granthi desha does not mean that he will necessarily progress further on the ladder of spiritual progress.
When the duration of karmas bound to his soul is slightly less than one krodaakrodii saagaropama, he is exposed to the Namokara Mahamantra. Whenever he starts falling back from the stage of granthidesha, he loses the Namokara Mahamantra and consequently binds heavier and more intense karmas.
Aasanna Bhavya Jiva (soul intrinsically capable of attaining liberation who are close to attaining liberation)
Here, the soul which is innately capable of attaining liberation comes close to attaining liberation. It progresses further after shedding each nisheka (agglomeration of karmas) per samaya through experiencing it (vipaakodaya). And when only one antamuhuurta less 10 samayas of the total duration of yathaarthapravrittikarana remains, the viirya (strength and vigour) of the soul springs forth and the soul enters the stage of apuurvakarana.
