## Second Karma Granth
_ 23
(4) **Avirat Samyagdrishti Gunasthan** refers to the state of abandoning harmful actions like violence, theft, etc., which are the causes of sin. This is called **Virati**. **Charitra** and **Brat** are also names for **Virati**. A being who, despite having **Samyagdrishti**, cannot refrain from any kind of attachment is called **Avirat Samyagdrishti**, and their specific state is called **Avirat Samyagdrishti Gunasthan**.
The reason for calling this **Gunasthan**-dwelling being **Avirat Samyagdrishti** and for their lack of restraint despite **Samyagdarshan** is the emergence of the **Ekadesha Samyam**-destroying **Apratyaakhyana Avarana Kshaya**.
A **Samyagdrishti** being is a **Kevali** (liberated soul). They have faith in the teachings of the **Upadesht Pravachan**. Due to ignorance, if they also have faith in something that is not true, then upon being explained by the scriptures or by the gurus, they abandon the inappropriate faith and begin to have appropriate faith. If, even after being explained by the guru, acharya, etc., they do not abandon the inappropriate faith, then they are called **Mithyadrishti**.
**Avirat** beings are of seven types:
(1) Those who do not know, accept, or follow the **vrats** (vows) are ordinary people.
(2) Those who do not know or accept the **vrats** but follow them are **Balatapasvi** (those who practice austerities on their own).
(3) Those who do not know the **vrats** but accept them and do not follow them are **Dhole-Pasatthe** (hypocrites) who do not live up to their commitments.
