[24] In the six-fold division of the universe, the presence of speech is found in all living beings.
[1, 1, 54] It is not a fixed rule that all speech originates from the mind. If it were so, then the speech of the liberated souls, who are devoid of mind, would be absent. Therefore, even in the absence of mind in beings from the two-sensed to the five-sensed non-conscious, speech exists. If it is argued that since knowledge cannot arise without the mind in beings with impaired senses, their speech is also not possible without knowledge, this argument is also not correct. It is not a fixed rule that knowledge originates only from the mind. If it is assumed that knowledge originates only from the mind, then in that case, knowledge will not be able to arise from all the senses. The mind is not even an aid to the senses, because sensory knowledge arises from the senses, which require effort and the cooperation of the soul.
Now, to explain the nature of the true speech yoga in the various stages of spiritual progress, the Uttar Sutra says:
"Saccvavcijogo sanni micchaitippahudi jav sajogikevali ti." [54]
True speech yoga exists from the stage of the deluded with false views to the stage of the liberated with associated karma. [54]
This is because there is no contradiction in the presence of ten types of true speech in the thirteen stages of spiritual progress, starting from the deluded with false views.
To explain the nature of the remaining speech yogas in the various stages of spiritual progress, the Uttar Sutra says:
"Mosavacijogo saccmosavacijogo sanni micchaitippahudi jav khinakasayaviyaraga-chadumatta ti." [55]
False speech yoga and true-false speech yoga exist from the stage of the deluded with false views to the stage of the liberated with subtle passions, free from passions, and with subtle obscurations. [55]
Question: How is false speech possible for those whose passions are subtle, those who are liberated with subtle passions, free from passions, and with subtle obscurations?
Answer: The cause of false speech is ignorance, which exists up to the twelfth stage of spiritual progress. Therefore, there is no obstacle to the existence of false speech yoga in them.
Now, to explain the number of body yogas, the Uttar Sutra says:
"Kayajogo sattaviho oraliyakayajogo oraliyamisskayajogo veuvviyakayajogo veuvbhiyamisskayajogo aharakayajogo aharamisskayajogo kammanikayajogo chedi." [56]
Body yoga is of seven types: noble body yoga, mixed noble body yoga, active body yoga, mixed active body yoga, food-related body yoga, mixed food-related body yoga, and karma-related body yoga. [56]
