KARMA PHILOSOPHY.

14th GUNA-STHĀNA. (Ayogi-guna-sthāna).
The 14th and the last or the highest guna-sthana is secured when an individuals of the 13th stage of development, is just breathing his last, say, just a moment before his death,
As the very tame of this 'guna-sthana' shows, here there exists no 'yoga' or activity of mind, speech and body. These activities are all totally stopped.
Here, again, all the four remaining “aghāti' karmas are at an end. All other 'karmas' too cease to exist.
Thus he is free from the hold of all 'karnias'; abandons this frail human body; and goes straight upwards to stay and live in the region of liberated or perfected living beings, in one 'samaya' or the shortest period of time imaginable,
There he rests firm and fixed in eternal felicity, making the place his perpetual abode, never to return to this filthy immoral world of mortals.
