There are no other paths except for *kevalgyan*, *kevaldarshan*, *kshaayik samyaktv*, *kshaayik charitra* and *anraaharaktva*. All other paths are unnatural, to a greater or lesser extent. Therefore, for beings who desire the fullness of their nature, they are ultimately to be discarded. From the knowledge of *gunasthan*, it becomes known that *gunasthan* are the roles that indicate the further development of the soul, which is engaged in spiritual evolution. When the roles of the previous stages become unnecessary due to the attainment of the roles of the later stages, all those roles are automatically abandoned. From the knowledge of emotions, it becomes certain that except for *kshaayik* emotions, other dense emotions, even if they are necessary during the time of evolution, are ultimately to be discarded. In this way, the *jivasthan* etc., which are presented in this text, are very useful for those who practice spiritual thought, in order to distinguish what is natural and what is unnatural for the being.
**Soul**
Spiritual texts are of two types. One type describes only the pure nature of the soul, while the other describes the impure and mixed nature. This text belongs to the second category. Such texts are particularly useful for primary and secondary practitioners of spiritual knowledge, because their perspective is practical, and through such texts, they can gradually be made to incline towards the ultimate nature of reality.
Every practitioner of spiritual knowledge has a natural curiosity about how and in what order the soul evolves spiritually, and what kind of states it experiences during its evolution. From the perspective of fulfilling this curiosity, *gunasthan* is more important than other subjects.
