Letter 18
123 And when Yathakhyat Charitra is attained Jeev is totally devoid even of any pious feelings or Shubha Bhava.
We shall try to put the above discussion about the modifications of Charitra attribute in the following tabular form.
(1) Mithya Charitra (freen anfe) - The presence of all the four quadruplets Anantanubandhi, Apratyakhyan, Pratyakhyan and Sanjwalan Kashayas.
(2) Swarupacharan Charitra ( FORSYTERCUT far) Absence of Anantanubandhi Kashayas but the presence of the other three quadruplets i.e. Apratyakhyan, Pratyakhyan and Sanjwalan Kashayas (This is the beginning of Samyak Darshan).
(3) Desh Charitra (Arraifa) Absence of Anantanubandhi and Apratyakhyan quadruplets and presence of Pratyakhyan and Sanjwalan quadruplets of Kashayas. ( Vrati Shravak unit 4)
(4) Sakal Charitra (Hoceife) – The absence of quadruplets of Anantanubandhi, Apratyakhyan, Pratyakhyan Kashayas and presence of Sanjwalan Kashayas ( Muni stage ).
(5) Yathakhyat Charitra ( Qug afta) Absence of all the four quadruplets of Kashayas and all the Nokashayas and attainment of total Veetaragata.
Alongwith the four quadruplets of Kashayas the nine Nokashayas like laughter etc. also start diminishing and in the end they vanish. Its details are not mentioned here, because it will lead to another lengthy discussion. Though you may feel that this subject is difficult, in future while studying the subjects of Karma and Gunasthana ( yun ) you will find this helpful and it will be easier to follow those subjects.
Once you know these above things, you will realise that Anantanubandhi and other Kashayas do not wither away by just taking up some vows and practising external renounciation, in Mithyatva stage. But one has to attain Samyak Darshan and steadily immerse in one's own self and thereby attain Veetaragata. This is the only way.
'तत्त्वार्थ श्रद्धानं सम्यक् दर्शनम्', that means grasping the true nature of the fundamental principles ( aranet ) and having faith in them is the definition of Samyak Darshan. What are these purposeful fundamental principles ( TT NH) and what is meant by having faith in them ? This will be discussed and learnt through the following letters.
If you have any questions or doubts regarding the subjects we have learnt so far, do write them down and let me know. I will explain them to you in my next letters.
With love.
Your Mom.
