NIRJARA OR DISSIPATION.
to resist the yogas of mind, speech and body in and through which karmic matter flow into the jiva. This dhyana is possible to a jiva
in the thirteenth gunasthan. (d) Vicchinna kriya apratipa ti—By this
type of sukla dhyana which is the last and final of the dhyanas, helps ihe mumukshin soul to tear assunder for good the veil and covering which so long stood in the ways of the jiva's realization of the true nature of itself. It is a kind of mental striving which becomes more and more intense as the days go by to realize the siddhahood of the jiva. To a jiva in the fourteenth gunasthan
this dhyâna is possible. It is important to note that Arta and Roudra dhyānas engage the mind of the people moving up and down between the ist and the 3rd gunasthånas : Dharma dhyana between 4th and 6th gunasthanas; Sukla dhyâna is possible to the jivas entering on the 7th gunasthan and onwards.
