Karma is yours,
it is yours. Because both these natures, without bondage, have attained their own form and thus proved their existence.
All these karmas, with their bondage and other states, were not destroyed by Bhagwan Mahavira in a moment. But by their gradual destruction, he developed the powers of the soul in a series, one after another, and became the Supreme Soul, the Omniscient, the All-seeing. This is the order of the development of the powers of the soul, and every soul has to make its own efforts for this.
The special qualities that are known by the wax of knowledge, vision, character, etc., due to the efforts made by the soul for its development, are called Gunasthanas. That is, Gunas - knowledge, vision, character, etc. are the nature of the soul and Sthanas - the form attained by them due to their intensity, are called Gunasthanas.
These special forms - knowledge, vision, character, etc. are the states of purity and impurity of these qualities. The main reason for the intensity of purity and impurity of qualities is the rise, subsidence, destruction, and destruction-subsidence of Mohaniya karma. When the obstructive karma decreases, the purity of knowledge, vision, etc. qualities becomes more apparent, and when the obstructive karma increases, the purity of knowledge, etc. qualities decreases. This gradual development of the soul's qualities, from less to more, is called Gunasthanakrama. Although there can be countless types of special forms of the soul born from purity and impurity, all these special forms are included in the form of fourteen Gunasthanas in brief. These Gunasthanas are like steps to attain the Moksha Mahal.
