but the inner instinct for copulation is stated to be present in him up to the ninth Gunasthana. The cause of misery is not apparent in Ahmindra (self Gods), nevertheless, rarely, the rise of Asata (painproducing karma)is stated to be present there. Similarly, one should know elsewhere.
Further, the Karanaanuyoga describes the right belief, knowledge, conduct, etc. religion with the relativity of subsidence, etc. of karma-prakritis and with their subtle power with reference to different Gunasthanas and it also describes the Jiva etc. Tattvas with their minute details and classifications, etc. which are the cause of right belief, etc. Here if someone tries to make effort according to Karanaanuyoga, it cannot be possible; the main object of Karanaanuyoga is to describe the true nature of substances; there is no prominence of putting anything into practice.

Such subtle dispositions of right belief, etc. are not the subject of comprehension. Therefore, one should know the nature of substances as per the Karanaanuyoga but follow such conduct knowingly which is benificial.
