Questioner: Does that become a layer too?
Dadashri: Yes, you remove the stain with the ‘soap,’ but
what about the residual stains the soap leaves behind? So that
is pratyakhyan avaran.
So when it becomes clean this way, it is pratyakhyan
avaran. If mistakes occur, despite doing pratyakhyan, that is
called pratyakhyan avaran kashay. That is because
pratikraman was done in bulk.
Sanjvalan Kashay
When there is constant pratikraman-pratyakhyan, it is
called pratyakhyan avaran. That is the sixth gunasthanak; or
gunthanu (spiritual stage). One is doing pratyakhyan of the
past apratyakhyan. When can we say that the ascetic has
reached the sixth gunasthanak of the real (nischay) and of
relative (vyavahar)? It is when pratikraman-pratyakhyan occurs
every moment. The pratyakhyan of the past life comes into
unfolding today and, consequently, one is able to renounce
naturally.

So what is the sixth gunasthanak? Kashays become
effective. They become evident in their effect. They are not just
concepts, but their effect is visible. They become effective despite
pratikraman, therefore, despite pacchkhani (pratyakhyani)
pratikraman, they still remain. Because it is a large karmic
tuber, it is considered pratyakhyani. It is a pratyakhyan avaran.
But if it comes into maturation from within, but does not become
effective, expressed externally, then it is considered sanjvalan.
It will not cause one to slap someone, or something like that.
There is suffering within in the pratyakhyan avaran. But when
one experiences samadhi (absolutely unaffected state) within,
that is when one will understand what all this is about. So this
is completely a different thing.
Anger, pride, deceit and greed are pratyakhyani, meaning
