Summary: We had a general discussion about 14 guunsthanaks and karmabhandh.
Difference between aayushya and gati:
Aayushya determines type of life, i.e. manushya, dev, tiriyanch, or narki.
Gati determines the type within the type determined by Aayushya. For example, if a jeeva has a dev aayu karmabandh, then gati naam karma (which happens every moment) determines the type of dev, i.e. either vaimanik dev, or jotishak dev, or vyantar dev, or bhavanpati dev. An example from prathmanuyog: Shrenikraja had aayushya of the seventh narak, but under bhagvan Mahavir he attained kshayik samyak-darshan, and his gati naamkarma was for the first narak.
Relationship between guunsthanaks and karma
First through fourth guunsthanak à mithyatva guunsthanak
Fifth through twelfth guunsthanak à charitra guunsthanak
Thirteenth and fourteenth guunsthanak à yog guunsthanak
Process of karmabandh à subh bhavs, aasubh bhavs, and samklesh parinam with maan, vachan, and kaya yog. The stage when the karma reaches yields fruit is karma uday.
After kshyopshamik, and aupshamik samyak-darshan goes away, the mithyatva mohniya karmabandh break into three parts: a) mithya darshan-mohniya; b) mishra darshan-mohniya; and c) samyak darshan-mohniya;
The types of detachments (vairag):
a) charitrahin: from the first through the third guunsthanaks à gruhastha
b) aavirti: the fourth guunsthanak à swarupaacharan, samyakdrasti
c) Aanuvrat: the fifth guunsthanak à deshvrat, shravak
d) Mahavrat: the sixth through the twelfth guunsthanak à monkhood
Chhakay jiva = five sthavar (water, earth, fire, air, vegetation) + traskay
Samyaktva can be attained even in gruhastha state. Samyaktva can happen with a) kshay; b) upsham; or c) kshyopsham of darshan-mohniya karma. But if charitra mohniya karma is very intense, then one cannot attain monkhood. The aashrav of paap-karma reduces with the increase in belief (shradhan). Monkhood is the culmination of the charitra. The more the vows the less is the karmabandh. The correct following of the vows is the cause of dev aayu karmabandh.
One can only have sangi panchendriya aayu and, manushya or dev gati in the fourth guunsthanak. One only has samjwalan kashays in the sixth and the seventh guunsthanak.
The process of reaching the 11th guunsthanak by suppressing the mohniya karma is known as upsham-shreni. While, the process of reaching the 12th guunsthanak by destroying mohniya karma is known as kshapak-shreni.
Our efforts should be directed at destroying the mohniya karma, and increasing the detachments from the material world based on the aatma’s sukh guun. The aim is to attain the eternal sukh. We should try and take the vows that are possible.
The type of karma and the number of karman particles are determined by the yog, and the intensity and the duration are decided by the kashay.
