________________ these impure psychical states because they are foreign to its nature. Thus the transcendental self is the doer of transcendental psychical states. Besides it is also their enjoyer. Auspicious, Inauspicious and Pure Psychical States Again, the spiritual perspective of Anek nta expressed when it is said that auspicious and inauspicious psychical states of self continue to captive it in never-ending tensions and the pure psychical states of self engenders equanimity. Thus from the Ni caya point of view both the auspicious and inauspicious psychical states prevent the self from attaining to the loftiest spiritual heights, hence they should be equally condemned as unwholesome for the healthiest development of the self. But from the Vyavah ra point of view if the empirical finds it difficult to rise to spiritual heights, it should develop auspicious psychical states, but with the clear knowledge, that these psychical states will in no way enable the self to realize the pure states of self. The inauspicious psychical states should by all means be disapprobated. In the end we may say that to make Anek ntic reality intelligible from the metaphysical perspective, Dravy rthika and Paryay rthika Nayas are necessary and to make an axiological assessment of Anek ntic reality from the spiritual perspective, Ni caya and Vyavah ra Nayas cannot be dispensed with.
