## Karmagranth Part Four
At the time of creation, when **mithyatva** (falsehood) is predominant, the proportion of **ajnan** (ignorance) is greater and the proportion of **jnan** (knowledge) is less. But when **mithyatva** is subdued and **samyaktvapuvagla** (right faith, right conduct, right knowledge, right effort) is predominant, then the proportion of **jnan** is greater and the proportion of **ajnan** is less. Regardless of the state of **misra-sristi** (mixed creation), due to the predominance of **jnan** in it, it is appropriate to consider the knowledge at that time as **jnan** and not **ajnan**. Therefore, there should be two **gunasthanas** (stages of knowledge) in **ajnan-trik** (three stages of ignorance).
(2) The intention of the **acharyas** (teachers) who believe in three **gunasthanas** is that although **ajnan** is called **jnan-mishrit** (mixed with knowledge) in the third **gunasthan**, it is not appropriate to consider **misra-jnan** as **jnan**. It should be called **ajnan**. Because, regardless of the type of **jnan**, it is **ajnan** without **shuddha samyaktv** (pure right faith). If **jnan** is considered as **jnan** in the third **gunasthan** due to the presence of **samyaktv**'s element, then **jnan** will also have to be considered as **jnan** in the second **gunasthan** due to the presence of **samyaktv**'s element, which is not desirable. The reason for this undesirability is that even those who believe in two **gunasthanas** in **ajnan-trik** consider **mati** (intellect) etc. as **ajnan** in the second **gunasthan**. Except for **siddhantvadi** (those who follow the principles), no other **kamdhik vidvan** (learned person) considers **mati** etc. as **jnan** in the second **gunasthan**. Therefore, it is appropriate to consider **mati** etc. as **ajnan** in the second **gunasthan** as well, just like in the first **gunasthan**, and consider **ajnan-trik** as three **gunasthanas**.
In **achakshusvarshan** (blind vision) and **chakshusvarshan** (seeing vision), there are four **gunasthanas** with this intention:
-
-
-
-
1. "**Misra-bhi ka misra**" etc. This means "In the **misra-gunasthan**, **ajnan** is **jnan-mishrit** (mixed with knowledge)."
