"There are eleven stages of the soul's progress, each marked by a specific level of spiritual development. The first three stages, known as Darshanamoha, Kshayapaka, and Upshantamoha, are characterized by the gradual elimination of the karmic defilements of perception, knowledge, and attachment. The fourth stage, Kshinamaha, marks the complete eradication of these defilements. The fifth stage, Sayogikevali, represents the attainment of omniscience, while the sixth stage, Ayogikevali, signifies the complete liberation from all karmic bonds.
These eleven stages are further divided into eleven levels of spiritual progress, known as Gunashreni. Each Gunashreni represents a specific level of spiritual attainment, with the first Gunashreni being the lowest and the eleventh being the highest.
The first Gunashreni is characterized by the elimination of an infinite number of karmic defilements, while the second Gunashreni eliminates an even greater number. This process continues until the eleventh Gunashreni, where all karmic defilements are completely eradicated.
The time required to eliminate these karmic defilements decreases with each Gunashreni. This means that the soul progresses more rapidly as it moves through the higher stages of spiritual development.
The Gunashreni are therefore considered to be the stages of spiritual progress, leading the soul towards liberation."
