The Path of the Saint
[23
Question - What is meant by the statement that the words of a Kevali (omniscient being) give rise to doubt and indecision? Answer - Since the objects of knowledge of a Kevali are infinite and the listener's covering karma is not completely destroyed, doubt and indecision can arise in the listener due to the words of the Kevali.
Now, to explain the qualities of the remaining two types of manoyog (mental application), the Uttar Sutra says:
Mosamanajogo SaccamoSamanajogo SanniMicchaittHipp Hudi Jav Khiinakasayaviyaray-Chhadumatttha Ti || 51 ||
Mrishamanoyog (false mental application) and Satyamrishamanoyog (true-false mental application) are found from the Mithyadristi Gunasthan (quality-place) of false belief to the Khinakashaya-Vitrarag-Chhadmasth Gunasthan (quality-place of subtle passions, passionless, and veiled). || 51 ||
Question - Mrishamanoyog and Asatyamrishamanoyog (false-false mental application) are caused by carelessness. Since carelessness is destroyed in the case of Upashamik (subdued) and Kshapik (destroyed) beings, how are these two types of manoyog possible in their case? Answer - Since covering karma is present up to the twelfth Gunasthan, there is no contradiction in accepting that both types of manoyog, which are the cause of ignorance in the form of delusion and indecision, are present in veiled beings. Now, to explain the types of Vachanayog (speech application), the Uttar Sutra says:
Vachijogo Chavviho SacchaVachijogo Mosavachijogo SacchaMosavachijogo AsacchaMosavachijogo Chedi || 52 ||
Vachanayog is of four types - SatyaVachanayog (true speech application), MrishaVachanayog (false speech application), SatyaMrishaVachanayog (true-false speech application), and AsatyaMrishaVachanayog (false-false speech application). || 52 ||
The type of yog that occurs due to the Vachanvargana (category of speech) in the ten types of truth, such as Janapad (country), etc., is called SatyaVachanayog. The opposite of this is called MrishaVachanayog. The type of Vachanayog that is both true and false is called UbhayanVachanayog. That which is neither true nor false is called AsatyaMrishaVachanayog. For example, the language of Asangi (non-conscious) beings and the language of invitation of Sanghi (conscious) beings.
Having thus explained the types of Vachanayog, the Uttar Sutra now explains its presence in the Gunasthanas:
Vachijogo Asac Mosavachijogo Biindiya Pahadi Jav Sajogikevali Tti || 53 || Vachanayog and AsatyaMrishaVachanayog are present from the Dwiiindriya (two-sense) beings to the Sajogikevali Gunasthan (quality-place of liberated being with attachments). || 53 ||
Question - If we accept that the words that arise due to the mind, which is in the form of experience, are called Anubhavchan (experience-speech), then how is Anubhavchan possible in the case of Dwiiindriya (two-sense) beings, etc., who do not have a mind?
