Let us reflect on Shri Haribhadrasoori Maharaj's words on the third 'parana' being missed, Ri य अन्नाणदोसेणं अभावियपरमत्थमग्गत्तणेण य गहिओ कसाएहिं, अवगया से परलोयवासणा, पणट्ठा धम्मसद्धा, समागया सयलदुक्खतरुबीयभूआ अमेत्ती, GIRI य देहपीडाकरी अतीवबुभुक्खा.” Due to his ignorance and having not immersed his soul in the supreme path of attaining liberation, he became bound by 'kashaya', his keenness to improve his next birth was completely destroyed, so was his faith in the religion. In its place, animosity, which is like the root of the tree of unhappiness, was generated. Intense pangs of hunger, caused him physical pain, making him covetous of food. He forgot the Doctrine of Karma taught to him by the 'Kulapati', that is why, he was possessed by ignorance. "To have missed his 'parana' thrice and as a result, having to bear the affliction of pain and misery are all due to the deviousness of Karmasatta and not of Gunasen. Gunasen is merely a jailer." Such a thought process is 'paramarth'. To maintain equanimity as a consequence of this thought process is the 'paramarthik' path, leading to the welfare of the soul and achievement of glorious future births. He fell short in assimilating with the path. He started Kulapati a sage who keeps, maintains and educates numerous pupils at his hermitage Kashaya = 4 passions viz. anger, ego, deceit and greed Paramarth = path of self-realisation Paramarthik path = path leading to realization of the from an absolute point of view; omniscience pure 140 soul
