This is the place. This fourteenth Gunasthan is the identification of the divinity, the Paramatmatva, seen in the fourth Gunasthan. The Gunasthanas from the second to the thirteenth, between the first and fourteenth Gunasthanas, are the names of the achievements obtained as a result of the duel between karma and the soul. These are the links in the chain of the Gunasthanas, which are the roles that the soul has to play in the path of gradual development.
Here is a very brief outline of the Gunasthanas. The names of the Gunasthanas, their systematic and detailed description, are given in the second chapter of this book. In other books, the discussion about Gunasthanas is similar to the Janadarshan. In other philosophies too, the development of the soul has been considered. In them too, it is believed that the karma-bound soul gradually develops and attains complete liberation. In books like Yoga Vashishtha and Patanjali Yoga Sutras, the roles of self-development have been described in detail. Yoga Vashishtha has considered seven roles of ignorance and seven roles of knowledge. Their names are as follows:
Roles of Ignorance: 1. Beejajagrat, 2. Jagrat, 3. Mahajagrat, 4. Jagratswapna, 5. Swapna, 6. Swapnajagrat, 7. Sushuptak.
Roles of Knowledge: 1. Shubhechcha, 2. Vicharana, 3. Tanumansa, 4. Sattvapatti, 5. Asansakti, 6. Padarthaabhavini, 7. Turyaga.
The summary of the above 14 roles is as follows:
1. Beejajagrat: In this role, the awareness of ego and possessiveness does not awaken. But there is the ability to awaken in the form of a seed. This role is considered in small bodies like plants etc.
