________________ 92 i . .::.. . Letter 14 In other words, the frequency and duration of concentration starts increasing gradually. Over a period of time a stage comes when the Jeev's attention is totally immersed in itself for ever. This is called or known as Yathakhyat Charitra ( Percun enfin). At this samay a total passionless state i.e. Veetaragata is attained. After that the attribute of sentience which was not fully developed or bloomed, becomes Anant Dnyan or omniscience. That is called Keval Dnyan. Thus you can see that though attributes of belief, knowledge and conduct become samyak in one samay, their fullfledged developments occur at different stages. The third part in our definition is “The infinite attributes in any substance can neither separate nor split." Now it will be easier to understand and prove this. Any particular substance, and its infinite attributes have the same Swadravya, and Swakshetra. In other words, whatever is the Swadravya of the substance, its infinite attributes also have the same Swadravya. Whatever is the Swakshetra of that substance, same is the Swakshetra of its infinite attributes. And out of the infinite attributes, each and every attribute's Dravya and Kshetra (area) are also the same. That is why all these infinite attributes cannot just leave their Swadravya and Swakshetra. I hope, you are understanding this, that since these attributes cannot leave their own Dravya and Kshetra, then how can they even enter the territory of another substance ? So this is the main reason as to why they can not separate or split and can not enter into another substance. This in the language of the scriptures we put it as – they can not enter into another substance meaning there by Paradravya, Parakshetra, Parakaal, and Parabhava. Take for example, the Dnyan or knowledge attribute of the Guru, can not enter into the disciple's knowledge attribute and therefore Guru cannot change the manifestation of disciple's knowledge attribute. One substance can not do anything in any other substance, because of the Agurulaghutva attribute. The total substances in this cosmos remain the same. They don't increase nor do they decrease. This is because of the Agurulaghutva attribute. The instrumental cause i.e. Nimitta fafuer can not interfere in the activity of a substance. This also happens because of the Agurulaghutva attribute. Why does a person not become Muni despite his gaining Real Right Belief? Because Real Right Belief is a modification of the attribute of belief whereas gaining monkhood and live accordingly is the modification of Charitra attribute. And this once again is because of the Agurulaghutva attribute, which does not allow indulgence of one substance into the
