**Sthiradrishti:** The commencement of Samyaktvamas, the Dasanamaha Upshama.
(465) Even though they exist, they remain indifferent to the ultimate goal, believing in fragmentation. This is the very form of infinite anger, pride, deceit, and greed.” – Shrimad Rajchandra, Patranka 375, 523. (459, 613)
Furthermore, from the nature of these five attainments, it becomes clear that the key (Master-key) to attaining Samyaktvamas lies in the middle path, the path of Deshana Ladhi. Because only through the destruction of desires can the soul attain purity, and only then can it become eligible to receive the teachings of the true Guru. Subsequently, it attains Samyaktvamas in a sequential manner. Therefore, the soul must first attain purity. And how is this achieved? Through sincere effort and the attainment of virtues like Prashamadi.
When the passions are pacified, there is no desire other than liberation. When there is regret for the world and compassion in the end, then this soul attains purity, and it is truly called a “Jignasu” (seeker). The true Guru who binds with such a pure and eligible Jignasu soul, that soul attains Samkiti (spiritual awakening) and progresses in the search within. Then, through the practice of Samyak Praiti (correct understanding) of the Guru's teachings, it attains Samkiti, and as a result, it experiences the ultimate goal, the pure self-realization, which is Paramartha Samkiti. Thus, it gradually progresses through the stages of Samyaktvamas, which are interconnected and progressively increasing.
The pacification of passions, only one desire;
Regret for the world, compassion within, that is called a Jignasu. That Jignasu soul, binds with the true Guru.
It attains Samkiti, progresses in the search within. Abandoning the attachment to views and opinions, it focuses on the true Guru.
It attains pure Samkiti, where there is no division or faction. It experiences its own nature, realizing the ultimate goal.
Its tendencies flow in its own essence, attaining Paramartha Samkiti.
As Samkiti increases, it avoids false appearances;
The virtue of Charitra (conduct) arises, and the state of Vitaraga (freedom from attachment) resides.”
Shri Atmasiddhi
In Atmasiddhi, three types of Samkiti are taught: (1) The first Samkiti is said to be the understanding of the words of the true person, the eagerness for the teachings, and the devotion to the true person with complete surrender. (2) The second type of Samkiti is the clear experience of the ultimate goal. (3) The third type of Samkiti is the experience of the ultimate goal without any doubt. The first Samkiti is the cause of the second Samkiti. The second Samkiti is the cause of the third Samkiti. All three Samkitis are accepted by the Vitaraga (liberated) person. All three Samkitis are to be cultivated, respected, and devoted to.” – Shrimad Rajchandra, Patranka 689 (751)
