bered that 'causes' here means only the instrumental or diterminant cause; the living being himself is always the real cause (or rather the substantial cause, both causes are equally necessary and real) This stage is called 'sâsvâdana' gunasthâna. It is only a momentary state. It is after anger, for instance, has risen and then subsided, and then is rising again; there is a momentary sensation of the taste of the quiet state; taste of the control of the mithyâtva karma. It is not the state when the anger was subsided, that is a higher one, it is the momentary taste of that quiet state. It does not last long enough for the generation of some of the karmas.
The following 25 karmas liable to be generated in this stage, would not be generated in any higher stage :
1. Tiryancha gati nâma karma. In any higher
stage than this 2nd stage, you do not generate a karma which takes you to the animal state.
2. Tiryanchâyuh karma.
3. Tiryanch anupurvi nâma karma.
4. Styânarddhi darshanâvaraniya karma. (Somnambulistic.)
5. Nidrâ-nidrâ (sleep requiring touching of the body to arouse the person.)
6. Prachalâ-prachalâ (asleep while the body is walking.)
