The state of **Sāsādan Guṇasthān** is the latent, non-essential belief (**atattva-śraddhā**), which is the result of the **samyaktva** (right faith, right knowledge, right conduct) being contradicted by the arising of **anantānubandhī** (infinitely connected) **kaṣāya** (passions).
Or, in other words, **Sāsādan Guṇasthān** is the state that arises in the middle period when the **samyaktva** results are lost due to the arising of any one of the **anantānubandhī** **kaṣāya**, and the **mithyātva** (false faith, false knowledge, false conduct) results are not present due to the non-arising of **mithyātva** nature.
**Question:** If the arising of **anantānubandhī** destroys **samyaktva**, then it should be counted among the types of **darśanamohaniya** (that which obscures right faith). If it is a type of **cāritramohaniya** (that which obscures right conduct), then it cannot contradict **samyaktva**. In such a situation, how can **Sāsādan Guṇasthān** exist?
**Answer:** The **anantānubandhī** **kaṣāya** is a type of **cāritramohaniya**, but it has the nature of destroying both **samyagdarsan** (right faith) and **samyakcāritra** (right conduct). In other words, **anantānubandhī** **kaṣāya** has a dual nature. This **kaṣāya** destroys **samyaktva** and maintains the infinite flow of **apratyākyānāvaraṇa** (non-rejectable covering) and other **kaṣāya**. Thus, **anantānubandhī**...
