## Second Karma Granth
The manifestation of the soul's true nature, adorned with vision, is described by the fourteenth **guna-sthana** called **Ayogikevali**. Achieving this state is the ultimate goal of the soul, leading to the destruction of the cycle of birth and death, and eternal, pure, **siddh**, **buddha**, and conscious bliss.
The **guna-sthana** are defined as the steps in the soul's evolution. The first is **Mithyatva** and the fourteenth is **Ayogikevali**, representing its completion. Now, we will explain the nature of these **guna-sthana**, starting with **Mithyatva**.
**(1) Mithyatva Guna-sthana:** The soul whose vision (belief, understanding) is distorted due to the influence of **Mithyatva-mohaniya karma** is called **Mithyatvi**. Just as a person who eats datura seeds sees even white objects as yellow, similarly, the **Mithyatvi**'s vision is distorted. They consider false gods as true gods, false gurus as true gurus, and false dharma as true dharma. They lack the knowledge of the soul and its distinction from the non-soul, the conscious and the inert. This specific state of the **Mithyatvi** soul is called **Mithyatva Guna-sthana**. It is also known as **Mithyatva-drishti Guna-sthana**.
**Question:** If distorted vision is called **Mithyatva-drishti**, how can the specific state of the **Mithyatvi** soul be called a **guna-sthana**?
**Answer:** Although the **Mithyatvi**'s vision is distorted, it is also partially true. Because even the **Mithyatvi** recognizes and accepts humans, animals, and birds as humans, animals, and birds respectively. Therefore, this specific state of their consciousness is called a **guna-sthana**.
