## Prabha Drishti: Meeti Aadi 4 Anushthan, Anal Ban Chag (51)
**Atmaanucharan is Asangaanushthan.** It is said that: "What is performed as if it is one's own nature due to excessive practice by the virtuous, that Asangaanushthan is due to the impressions of the word." The first rotation of the wheel is due to the movement of the hand, and the subsequent rotation is due to the absence of the hand. This is an example that explains the difference between Vachanaanushthan and Asangaanushthan.
**Meaning:** Just as a wheel rotates when moved by hand, the initial rotations are due to the hand's movement. Later, even when the hand is removed, the wheel continues to rotate due to the previous impressions. Here, the initial rotations are truly Vachanaanushthan, and the subsequent rotations are truly Asangaanushthan.
Therefore, Vachanaanushthan related to begging, etc., is due to the action of the word, while Asangaanushthan is due to the impressions created by the word, even in the absence of the word, not due to the action of the word. However, due to the strong impressions of practice arising from it, it happens automatically.
Thus, Asangaanushthan is the practice that becomes ingrained in one's nature due to the deep impressions arising from excessive practice, without relying on the word in the course of action. It is like the fragrance of sandalwood permeating the entire forest, this practice becomes so much a part of the soul of the virtuous, that it pervades their entire being and fills them with the fragrance of virtue.
The soul has become so deeply ingrained with this practice, and the scriptures have left such deep impressions on it, that it spontaneously acts on its own, even without relying on the word. This natural, inherent practice of the great soul is Asangaanushthan.
**Analamban Chag**
It is called Analamban Chag because the form of Analamban Yag is as follows: Here, the reliance is also this - the supreme, both with form and without form, and the subtle, formless one is Analamban Chag.
"आलंबणं पि एयं रूवमरूवी य इत्थ परमुत्ति । तग्गुणपरिणइरूत्रो, सुहुमोऽणालंबगो नाम || "
—Shri Haribhadrasuri's Yagavishka, Ga. 19
"6 यत्त्वभ्यासातिशयात्सात्मभूतमिव चेष्ट्यते सद्भिः । तदसङ्गानुष्ठानं भवति त्वेतत्तदावेधात् ॥ चक्रभ्रमणं दण्डात्तदभावे चैव यत्परं भवति । वचनासङ्गानुष्ठानयोस्तु तज्ज्ञापकं ज्ञेयम् ।। "
Maharshi Haribhadracharya's Shodashak 10-7, 8.
This Asangaanushthan is the very sign of Analamban Sangatyag. One should know the form of Alamban Chag. It is the supreme, both with form and without form, and the subtle, formless one is Analamban Chag.
