________________ Biology in Jaina Treatise on Reals. rays by dense clouds. It is, therefore, realisational. It can be illustarated as follows: The non-knowledge of taste, smell etc. of the one-sensed living beings is realisational due to the realisation of all-destroying supervariforms of specific sensory knowledge-obscuring karma of taste, smell, sight and hearing senses, Similarly, the non-knowledge of two-sensed etc. beings about higher senseobjects should be explained. The realisation of all-destroying supervariforms of alphabeticalvocable-obscuring karma causes the non-knowledge of alphabetical-vocables due to the absence of their formations among the five-sensed subhumans (excluding parrots and starling bird etc.) and some human beings. This nonknowledge is also realisational. The instinctlessness is also realisational as it causes incapacity to learn about desirables and non-desirables due to the realisation of all-destroying supervariforms of quasi-sense obscuring karma. This is also included in the volition of non-knowledge. Similarly, the non-knowledge of clarivoyance, telepathy and perfect knowledge is also due to the realisation of corresponding knowledge-obscuring karma. Thus, all types of non-knowledge is realisational by volition. 6. The non-restrained is that who has non-abstinent volitions due to the realisation of all-destroying supervariforms of conduct-deluding karma. Under this condition, the living being becomes devoid of volitions not to cause violence and he jealously indulges in sensual objects. 7. The living being is begininglessly bonded with the karmas. The realisation of all these karmas lead to the non-liberation of the living being. The volition of non-liberation is, thus, realisational by nature. This arises due to the realisation of eight karmas upto the spiritual stage of subtle passions. It is due to the realisation of seven karmas in the spiritual stages of subsided passion and destroyed passions. It is due to the realisation of non-destructive karmas in the spiritual stages of omniscience with and without activities (13th and 14th stage). 8. The aural colouration or aureola (lesyā) is defined as the tendency for activities due to tinging by passions. It has two varieties - (i) physical and (ii) psychical. The physical colouration is due to the realisation of matter-maturing karmas. It is not intended here as this is the topic of the volitions of the soul. The psychical colouration is the tendency towards activity due to passional tinging. Thus, it is realisational. Q. The tendency towards activity is the vibrations in the soul spacepoints. This is the super-attainment of energy. It has been described under destructioncum-subsidential volitions. Similarly, the passions have been mentioned to be realisational. Thus, the colouration is not different from them. Hence it should not be seperately mentioned. Jain Education International 60 For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
