desire, even then his perturbedness does not get mitigated totally; when everything happens as per his desire and nothing happens contrarily then alone one would remain unperturbed; but this can never be possible, because the modification of any substance is not dependent on any other substance. Therefore, unperturbedness is possible only on eradication of one's feelings of attachment, etc. (passions). So, this act can be attained, because attachment, etc. dispositions are not the natural dispositions, but are perverse dispositions, are produced due to instrumentality of other substances and that instrumental cause is the rise of Moha (deluding) karma; on its destruction, all sorts of attachment, etc. passions get eradicated and then on removal of perturbedness, misery ends and bliss is evolved. Hence, the destruction of the Moha karma is beneficial.
Further, the coexisting cause of perturbedness is the rise of Jnanavarana (knowledge-obscuring karma) etc. Due to the rise of Jnanavarana and Darshanavarana (perception-obscuring karma) knowledge and perception are not fully manifested; therefore, perturbedness is caused due to the desire of knowing and seeing (the things). Or he does not know the exact complete nature of the substance, due to which the feelings of attachment, etc. arise which cause perturbedness.
Further, due to the rise of Antarya karma (obstructive karma) the desired acts of charity, etc. are not fulfilled, then perturbedness is caused. The rise ofAntaraya karma along with the rise of Moha-karma become the associating cause of perturbedness. On destruction of Moha-karma they become ineffective and those karmas get automatically destroyed (without any effort) in one Antar Muhurta, i.e., within very-very short period; but when the coexisting cause also gets destroyed then the fully manifested state of unperturbedness is realised. There, the omniscient God is said to have attained the state of infinite bliss.
Further, due to the instrumentality of the rise of Aghati karmas (non-destructive karmas) the union of body, etc. is found. There, due to rise of Moha-karma, the union of the body, etc. acts as an external
coexisting cause of perturbedness. Perturbedness is caused due to Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only
