## Proposal No.
In the scriptures of karma, the concepts of *Jiva-sthana* (abode of the soul), *Margana-sthana* (path of the soul), and *Guna-sthana* (state of the soul) are explained. These three categories are a detailed examination of the variations of worldly beings, their *Vikas* (evolution), *Sukha* (happiness), and *Dukha* (suffering) in the form of *Kava* (covering).
*Jiva-sthana* describes the physical forms and types of worldly beings, ranging from the dense karmic state of the soul in various *Guna-sthana* (states of qualities) to the ultimate pure development, the radiant and supreme state. *Margana-sthana* classifies the soul's external (physical) and internal (spiritual) states, outlining their diverse variations.
From this perspective, *Margana-sthana* acts as a middle ground (threshold) similar to the *Kshepaka Nyaya* (theory of projection), encompassing both the physical aspects of *Abasthana* (state) and the spiritual aspects of *Guna-sthana*.
Furthermore, *Margana-sthana* has a unique characteristic. While *Jiva-sthana* only describes the types and variations of beings, and *Guna-sthana* informs about the sequential development of the soul through karmic states, they are not interconnected. They are *Krama-bhavi* (sequential). However, *Margana-sthana* is *Saha-bhavi* (co-existent). It is connected to both *Jiva-sthana* and *Guna-sthana*. Beings with both types of characteristics are inevitably included in some *Margana-sthana*.
## My Time
In the world, there are countless beings. Their external and internal lives exhibit a variety of peculiarities, differences, and complexities. There is diversity in their physical forms, shapes, colors, sensory organs, movements, actions, thoughts, and *Sukha* and *Dukha*. Each being is distinct from the other.
