vow may appear to some extent but the kashay of the third level proves harmful to the remaining vow for refrainment. For example, because of the first kashay (anger of 4 degrees), the jiva may deem violence a sin and may think that violence should not be committed. When the second kashay of the 4th , degree acts, the jiva may by means of a vow refrain from causing violence to thrasajivas, (jivas with movement), seeing them and knowing them. But yet unknowingly violence may be caused to thrasjivas. In the same manner, knowingly or unknowingly violence may be caused to the stawar (stationary) jivas. These things have not been stopped. The cause for this is the Prathyakhyanavaran kashay. In other words, this kashay prevents a jiva from taking a vow of total refrainment. For one reason or the other, it does not allow the jiva that is. interested in samsar (gribavas) to think of total refrainment. 3. SAMJWALAN KASHAY :
The kashay that has arisen to a little extent leaving the other three kashayas, takes the jiva upto the point of making him discard all sins and to become a sadhu but even afterwards sometimes such kashays as anger may arise in him or he develops hatred for samyama (self-discipline) etc. This is the task of Samjwalan Kashay. On account of this kashay, the quality of Vitragata gets smothered.
YOGA (PSYCHOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY)
Yoga means psychophysical activity and reactions with the endeavour of the soul. The thoughts, the utterances and the physical activities of the jiva are called yogas. If these activities are noble, the soul gathers auspicious karmas and if they are ignoble, the soul gathers inauspicious karmas. The mind has four yogas. 1. SATYAMANOYOG: It means thinking of an object or its condition as it is in itself. For instance, thinking thus “Moksha can be attained only by knowledge accompanied with action".
2. ASATYAMANOYOG: This means thinking of a thing or its condition in a way that is totally opposite to or different from
