others will not know about them. Even a clever person will not
be able to measure through his intellect (buddhi) whether or not
a person has anger within him. Only the person who has it will
be aware of it. That is pratyakhyani! So, what can you say
about the one for whom the five major vows (mahavrats) are
natural in his conduct? It would be more than enough if there
was one such person in this current time cycle. Those
pratyakhyani kashays are gone and, therefore, only the
sanjvalan kashays remain.
The Sixth to the Ninth Gunasthanaks
The vyavahar (worldly interaction) gunasthanak (stage
of spiritual development) qualities of everyone will keep on
changing. Some will come into the fourth, some -into the fifth
and some into the sixth gunasthanak. Before, their kashays
were apratyakhyan, apratikraman and now, because of
alochana, pratikraman and pratyakhyan, even the
apratyakhyan avarans have gone.
Those who have heavy ‘files’ in the worldly life are
considered to be at the sixth gunasthanak.
What is the sixth gunasthanak in the worldly life
interaction? It is not the one where one renounces a wife or a
husband, but it is the one where there is no apratyakhyan
avaran. You see the same thing again even after doing
pratyakhyan; it is like seeing another layer of an onion. That is
pratyakhyan avaran. If ever that pratyakhyan avaran goes
away for an hour, then that is apramat gunasthanak, and that
is the seventh gunasthanak. And rarely there comes the eighth
gunasthanak where there is nothing but bliss! That is called
apurva gunasthanak. But one cannot cross over to the ninth
gunasthanak as long as there is sexuality (stri parigraha).
Total Absence of Any Kashay
There should not be the slightest of anger in this body.
