## Prabha Drishti: The Essence of Asanga Anushthan
(583)
Not an Alanban Yaga Vyapar. Because the perfection of the flower is there. (Special inquisitive should observe the commentary of Shri Yashovijayji on Chaugvamshika and Shodashak Shastra.)
The essence of all this is: (1) Asanga Anushthan means, without the association of the scriptures, it is performed by the firm sanskar arising from it. It is the natural flow of the Nigranth Vitrag Muni, the Asanga conduct that has become the nature of the soul, this Nigranth Mahamuni's self-character is so ideal, that it does not have any kind of external influence. Sang is of two types: external and internal. Food and objects are external Sang, while attachment, aversion, pride, etc. are internal Sang. Where there is a complete absence of both these types of Sang, it is called Asanga Anushthan. Where there is complete perfection of the Nigranth nature of matter and spirit, and especially the ideal spirit, it is Asanga Anushthan. (2) This Asanga Anushthan is the same as Alanban Chaug. To attain oneness with the qualities of the formless Supreme Soul, to attain the state of harmony, is Alanban Yaga. Without any attachment to anything else, just focusing the mind on the Supreme Soul, becoming absorbed in the contemplation of the oneness of the qualities of the Supreme Soul and the soul, is Alanban Yaga, which is Asanga Anushthan. (3) And this Alanban Chaug is the intense desire for the vision of the Supreme Soul, which manifests in Samathyaag. This desire for the vision of the Supreme Soul is so intense that there is no attachment to any other influence, the mind does not wander anywhere else, only the thirst for the vision of the Supreme Soul remains. Thus, without any association, attachment, dependence, or obstruction, the Asanga Nigranth conduct that takes place, the Alanban Yaga that manifests in the form of meditation on the Supreme Soul, the intense desire for the vision of the Supreme Soul that prevails, all this is Asanga Anushthan.
The essence of Asanga
It is necessary to understand the mystery of the word 'Anushthan'. To perform an action that is in accordance with knowledge, that is conducive, and that is not contradictory, is called Anushthan. So, just as it was firmly decided that the soul is different from the body and other external objects, to put this decisive knowledge into practice, to renounce the feelings of attachment, etc. towards the body and other external objects, and to strive for the attainment of the pure soul, is Anushthan. The experience of the soul, which is different from the body and other external objects, the self-knowledge that is attained, to perform the conduct of the pure soul nature, free from the association of the body and other external objects, in accordance with it, is Anushthan. Such an action, which is so beneficial, is also known as Anushthan. By performing the practice of Amrit Anushthan, which leads the soul to the state of Amrit,
