Stanza 15

Starting point: A

Destination point: B

There are two paths that one can take:

1. Path leads a to b
   
2. Path that doesn't lead from a to b
   

A current position, sansar

B destination, moksha

Samvar is going from a to b

There are7 tattva:

Jeev: soul, something with the capability to know. Chetna. Capability to be aware. Consciousness

Ajeev: Body, no chetan shakti. No consciousness

Ashrav: influx of karma good and bad

Bandh: 1. get time stamp to bear fruit, 2. difference in intensity

Samvar: from A to B. stoppage of influx of karma by mind, body, and speech. All the vows: truth, non violence, no greed, not stealing, abstinence,

Nirjara

Moksha: Destination reached after all karma is shed.    

Ashrav and Bandh causes suffering while we are doing it and causes suffering later.

Samvar and Nirjara are blissful and result in a blissful state.

 

The above steps can be expressed by the following example of a both:Boat.

1. Hole in boat and water starts to come in.
   
2. Guy in boat is jeev and boat is ajeev.
   
3. Water comes in by ashrav.
   
4. Accumulation is bandh ( bondage of karma)
   
5. To prevent drowning stops the hole, samvar.
   
6. Starts removing water from boat, nirjara
   
7. Reaches shore, moksha….
   

 

 

Nirjara: 2 types

1. Akam nirjara: (does not lead to moksha)
   
   1. Karma comes to rise and gives fruit
      
   2. And then get shed by itself
      
   3. Example: daily activity, get something unfavorable Ex. Injury
      
   4. Ashrav continues because you are doing emotions due to the bearing of fruits
      
2. Sakam nirjara (leads to moksha; liberation from worldly sufferings and karma and transmigratoy cycle.)
   
   1. Shed by Tap.
      
   2. Tap is getting rid of desire. Iccha nirodh
      
   3. Desire less state
      
   4. Stops influx of karma
      

All feelings happen because some kind of attachment to something.

Anger, stress, jealously, hatred and aversions will go away with time.

Desires don't go away

If one overcomes desire, then one can overcome attachment feelings.

True nature of soul appears after win over desires.

Ichha is subset of raag

Raag is bigger umbrella. Desire is included in raag.

2 raags

1. Prasha raag
   
   1. Raag supporting towards spiritual bliss
      
   2. Desire towards moksha
      
   3. Desire towards good spiritual qualities
      
   4. Towards bringing extra sensory pleasure
      
   5. All compassions and friendly emotions to all living beings
      
   6. Feelings to help someone
      
   7. Fulfilling duty as house holder
      
      1. Intention is the by fulfilling duty it will be happy and can pursue my path to liberation
         
      2. No with intention to get something in return. If you want something in return then it is apraha raag.
         

      
       

2. Aprasha raag
   
   1. Desire towards worldly things
      
   2. Brings name, fame, and wealth.
      
   3. Expect favor back for favor or duty.
      

Making bad money is worse than making money with aprasha raag.

Samyak drasti: one with right belief in 7 tattvas.

As proceeding to path of liberation the raag diminishes. At time of moksha then both prasha and aprasha raag go away.

Stanza 15:

Sometimes because of shedding the karma by akam nirjara one takes birth in 3 lower heavenly being.

There they get burnt in desire towards sensory pleasures.

Daavanal is wild forest fire. 6 months before death their garland around their neck withers away.

And realize they will die and realize they will die and take birth as something else, not dev again or hell. These thoughts create a lot of stress and at the time of death they suffer in intense agony.
