## Chapter 7: The Sevenfold Breakage
After explaining the general breakage of the lineage karma, we now explain the breakage of the senses in these places. There are seven types of breakage of the senses in lineage karma:
1. **Bondage of low lineage, arising of low lineage, and existence of low lineage.**
2. **Bondage of low lineage, arising of low lineage, and existence of low-high lineage.**
3. **Bondage of low lineage, arising of high lineage, and existence of high-low lineage.**
4. **Bondage of high lineage, arising of low lineage, and existence of high-low lineage.**
5. **Bondage of high lineage, arising of high lineage, and existence of high-low lineage.**
6. **Arising of high lineage and existence of high-low lineage.**
7. **Arising of high lineage and existence of high lineage.**
The first breakage occurs in fire-bodied and air-bodied beings who are capable of uplifting the high lineage. This breakage occurs in one-sensed, two-sensed, and five-sensed animals until the end of their lifespan. This is because after the end of their lifespan, the bondage of high lineage occurs naturally for these one-sensed and other beings.
The second and third breakage are found in the two gunasthana (stages of qualities) of **mithyadrishti** (false belief) and **sasadan** (attachment). This is because the bondage and liberation of low lineage are found in two states of existence:
* **One state:** When both high and low lineages are present, the high lineage is uplifted in the fire-bodied and air-bodied state.
* **Another state:** When the low lineage is not suitable for the liberation of the soul and is weakened at an inappropriate time.
