PHILOSOPHY OF SOUL
depends on annihilation of passions. When they are totally eradicated the soul attains complete purity-state of stainlessness.
YOGA (VIBRATIONS OF THE SOUL) Yoga means throbbing-quivering activity of Soul. This is one kind of soul's activity which is constantly going on. You cannot perceive this activity but it goes on. Till this activity of commotion goes on in the Soul, it-contracts Karmic bondages. When it ceases to throb, bondages also cease to be contracted, and consequent feelings of pains, pleasures and unrest also stop to operate. Here we must clarify that on the thirteenth stage of spiritual progress throbbing of the soul continues and still the soul enjoys peace, as uneasiness is caused by passions, which are totally absent at the stage above mentioned. That thirteenth stage of spiritual progress is named as 'Sayogi Kevali' and therefore the soul has no attachment. The soul has obtained Omniscience but the activity of the Soul's regions continue. After the soul acquires fourteenth stage its throbbing activity ceases and the same is never revived. This fourteenth stage is the final stage of spiritual progress and the Soul which attains to this stage reaches Siddhasheela (highest pinnacle of the universe) and enjoys stability there for ever.
More facts will be discussed on the proper occasion.
