## First Karma Granth, Chapter 37
(4) Those living beings who do not have a mind are called *asangi* and their *shruta* is called *asangi shruta*.
The explanation of *sangi* and *asangi* beings should be understood in relation to the *dirghkaliki*, *hetuvadopadeshiki* and *drishtivadopadeshiki* classifications.
**In relation to *dirghkaliki***: Those who have the intellect to contemplate *iha sadarth* (the purpose of this life), the path of *apoh* (definitive reasoning), *margana* (investigation of the inherent qualities), *gaveshana* (examination of the nature of the differentiating qualities), and *chinta* (reflection on how an event happened, is happening, and will happen) and have the power to understand the true nature of things are called *sangi*. All other beings are called *asangi*. Those who are born in the womb, *aupapatik* (born spontaneously), *dev* (celestial beings), or *narak* (hell beings) and have attained a mind are called *sangi*. Because contemplation, deliberation, etc., regarding the three periods of time are possible only for them. Those who have not attained a mind are called *asangi*.
**In relation to *hetuvadopadeshiki***: Those who, with intelligence, engage in actions that are beneficial for their own body, such as consuming desirable food, and refrain from actions that are harmful, such as consuming undesirable food, are called *sangi* in the context of *hetu* (reason) *upadesh* (instruction). Conversely, those who do not are called *asangi*.
**In relation to *drishtivadopadeshiki***: In this context, *drishti* refers to the knowledge of *darshan* (vision). *Samyaggyan* (right knowledge) is called *sanjna*. One who possesses such *sanjna* is called *sangi*.
