(28) In these fourteen divisions of Gunasthana, the amount of development in the subsequent Gunasthana is greater than the previous one, the third greater than the second, and so on. This order of development depends on the degree of spiritual stability. The degree of stability depends on the purity of the power of Darshan and Charitramoha. In the first, second, and third Gunasthana, the development of the soul's Darshan and Charitra power does not occur because they are dominated by their restrictive causes. From the fourth Gunasthana onwards, these restrictive Samskaras become weaker, which initiates the process of development of powers in those respective Gunasthanas. These restrictive Samskaras are called Kshayas.
There are four main divisions of these Kshayas. These divisions are based on the intensity of the fruit-bearing power of the Kshayik Samskaras. The first division is of Darshanmohaniya and Anantanabandi Kshayas. This division restricts the Darshan power. The remaining three divisions, which are called Apratyakhyanabaran, Pratyakhyanabaran, and Sanjwalan respectively, are restrictive of the Charitra power. When the intensity of the first division is present, the Darshan power does not manifest, but as the state of weakness or absence develops, the Darshan power is expressed.
When the Darshan power is expressed, or in other words, when the velocity of Darshanmoha and Anantanabandi Kshayas is calmed or destroyed, at the end of the fourth Gunasthana,
1. This statement is from a general perspective. Actually, the second Gunasthana is not a stage of development, but rather a temporary abode for a soul that has fallen from a higher state.
