PHILOSOPHY OF SOUL
Karmas and right-conduct obscuring Karmas go to make the total number of twenty-eight.
Anger, Pride, Deceit and Greed are main passions. All these four passions have "very acture", "acute", "Medium" and "Mild" types, making in all sixteen varieties of passions. Scriptural technical term is "Anantanubandi" for "very acute" passion. Acute passion is called "Apratyakhayani”, Medium passion is Pratya Kheāni, and mild passion is called “Samjwalana".
The sacred scriptures have quoted illustrations to explain these sixteen varieties of passion.
ANGER
Sanjwalana : - It is like a streak on the surface of water and so it vanishes instantaneously. This type of anger is pacified in no time.
Pratyakhyaniya :- It is like a streak on sand. It vanishes with the wafting of wind. Thus this type of anger is cooled down in some time.
A pratyakhyaniya :- It is like a creak in land which is repaired only on the advent of rain. Thus this type of anger is pacified only after a long time.
Anantanubandhi :- It is like a fissure in rock. It can never be repaired. This type of anger is never pacified.
PRIDE
Sanjwalana :- Like a canestick, easily subjugated. Pratyakhyaniya :- Like a wooden-stick, subjugated with difficulty. Apratyakhyaniya :- Like bone, subjugated with great difficulty.
Anantanubandhi :- Like a pillar of stone, which is never subjugated.
DECEIT
Sanjwalana : - Like a chip of bamboo stick, which leaves its deviation or crookedness easily.
