Gunasthanaka : 14 Stages of Purification Note : At the eighth stage the Soul with unprecedented, incomprehensible, extremely deep virtuous spiritual meditation accomplishes stages 8 to 12 skipping over the 11th stage within 48 minutes and attains 'Omniscience' - the 13th stage.
One who reaches the 11th stage, because of suppressed elimination
will invariably, definitely slide down to the 4th stage or even lower.
