Sudden fear : A person may feel afraid of a calamity without any reason. 5. Fear of livelihood : Some fear may be concerning ones means of livelihood. 6. Fear of death. 7. Fear of loss of reputation : A person may have lurking fear in his mind that he may not be disgraced. Repentance for status of ego : Ego or pride generates many ills. A naughty person feels pleased when another person is cursed. The practitioner of spirituality keeps himself clearly detached from sense of pride. He always keeps himself vigilant, so, that even an iota of pride may not affect him. In case any moment, sense of pride operates in him, he repents for the same. Pride is of eight types. 1. Pride of class : To feel proud that one is of a higher class. 2. Pride of birth or family : Pride of status of family (The sub-caste of mother is called Jati and of father is called Kul) 3. Pride of strength : One may be proud of his physical strength. 4. Pride of complexion : One may he proud of ones beautiful look. 5. Pride of austerities : To feel proud that one is practicing hard austerities. 6. Pride of scriptual knowledge. 7. Pride of accumulations : A person may feel proud of getting the desired articles. 8. Pride of Status Repentance relating to preservation of celibacy (brahmcharya) : Brahma means soul and charya means to conduct oneself. So brahmcharya means to safeguard ones conduct. A monk has discarded sex for ever. He practices nine taboos (prohibitions) vigilantly in order to safeguard his life of celibacy. Gupti means to preserve. It is also called the fence. Just as a farmer puts up fence for security or safety of his crop, the practitioner observes nine preservations for the safeguard of his state of celibacy. The nature of nine guptis (presentations) is as under: 1. To avoid stay at a place where women, animals or impotents are staying. 2. To avoid talk about women. To avoid cutting jokes at women. ukokuutkikkkukkkkkkkkkkkkk .9. ಶ ...es. ಗಣಿತಶ आवश्यक सूत्र ** * ******* // 125 // ******* IVth Chp. : Pratikraman * * **
