From Vagdaripura, this ever-benevolent seeker, eager for Tattvasravana, embraces Dharma, which is more precious than life itself, with utmost devotion. Just as a seed sprouts from sweet water, leaving behind salty water, so too, Tattvakriti sprouts in a man, leading him to liberation. Here, the entire worldly existence is like salty water, and Tattvasruti is like the sweet water that nourishes it. Thus, through Tattvakriti, a human being attains all well-being, which is filled with the joy of Guru Bhakti and beneficial in both worlds. This Guru Bhakti inspires the vision of Tirthankaras, which is a cause of Nirvana, free from the distinctions of Samaptti, etc.
“Tattvasravana is like sweet water, here the seed of liberation sprouts;
Leaving behind the salty water of worldly existence, Guru Bhakti is unwavering.” - Manmohan.
However, the reason for mentioning the negation of subtle bonds here is that without Samyakta, they cannot be broken. Both are experienced through the Vedya-Sanvedya state, and they do not occur in the Avedya-Sanvedya state. Vedya refers to the object of knowledge, the binding cause, and the Vedya-Sanvedya state is where it always exists. Therefore, the Tattvanirnaya that occurs in the Viddh Samaj, due to the distinctions of Samyakta, etc., is called Sukshma Bandha. This Sukshma Bandha does not yet exist in this state, because in the first four states, the Avedya-Sanvedya state is dominant, and the Vedya-Sanvedya state is like the shadow of a bird, a reflection of the activity of aquatic creatures, unreal and illusory. And the Avedya-Sanvedya state is the ultimate truth, the state of Yogis is the Vedya-Sanvedya state. Because where there is pure and uncontaminated activity of the intellect, free from the influence of the knowledge of women, etc., through the proper perception and various types of knowledge, that state is worthy of the name "state" due to its proper state. This Vedya-Sanvedya state is characterized by detachment from the world, etc. This Nitya Vedya-Sanvedya state belongs only to the permanent Samyak Darshan. And due to its great influence, even if some activity occurs in sin due to the transgression of karma, it is like stepping on a hot ember, meaning that just as one immediately retracts one's foot from a hot ember, so too, this Samyak Darshan immediately feels the shock of sin, it does not have a long-lasting state, and this sinful activity is the last one. Because the firm Samyak Darshan does not lead a man to further degradation, like a king.
“That state, through the separation of knots, the last sinful activity,
Like stepping on a hot ember, there is an end to liberation.” - Manmohan.
In contrast to that is the Avedya-Sanvedya state. And just as a diamond is impenetrable, so too, that state belongs to the Bhava-Abhinandi Jiva. This Bhava-Abhinandi is petty, greedy, humble, envious, fearful, rotten,
