## Muktatattvamimaansa: Comparison of Bhava Chihnos, Sadhya-Asadhya Nirnay
(635) Just as a diagnosis can be made based on examining the symptoms of a disease, the diagnosis of Bhava Rog can be made based on the subtle, specific signs.
And just as the curability, difficulty to cure, or incurability of a disease can be determined based on the condition of the patient and the type of disease, the curability, difficulty to cure, or incurability of Bhava Rog can be determined based on the state of the being, the type of Bhava, and the specific circumstances. Is this being's Bhava Rog curable, difficult to cure, or incurable? This can be determined through a Prognosis. For example:
(1) If a patient experiences a very positive effect from a medicine immediately, it indicates that the disease is curable. Similarly, if a being experiences a very positive effect, in the form of a change in their Bhava, immediately after the application of the appropriate medicine, such as Samyag Darshan, it is certain that the being is close to liberation and their Bhava Rog is curable.
(2) If a patient experiences some effect from a medicine after a long time, it indicates that the disease is difficult to cure. Similarly, if a being experiences a positive effect, in the form of a change in their Bhava, after a long time of applying the medicine of the Ratna Trayi, it indicates that the being is far from liberation and their Bhava Rog is difficult to cure.
(3) If a patient does not experience any effect from any medicine, even after a very long time, and the medicine has no effect, it is like pouring water on a stone, and the disease worsens, it indicates that the disease is incurable. Similarly, if a being does not experience any positive effect, in the form of a change in their Bhava, even after a long time of applying the best medicines, such as Darshan, and does not experience any improvement, and instead experiences negative effects like pride, it indicates that the being is far from liberation and their Bhava Rog is incurable.
Just as the future outcome of a disease can be predicted based on the symptoms and specific circumstances of the patient, the future outcome of Bhava Rog can be predicted based on the signs and specific circumstances of the being.
Furthermore, just as there are differences among patients, some are intelligent, some are not, some are children, some are old, etc., there are also differences among beings with Bhava Rog. Some are intelligent, some are not, some are children, some are old, etc. Because, as mentioned above, the one who understands the painful nature of the disease, the intelligent and wise patient, will try to cure the disease as quickly as possible.
