Dhal 3 Stanza 5 to 8

Stanza 5

There are 3 types of soul:
1. Bahiraatma- Wrong Believers
2. Antaraatma- Right Believers
a. 3 types of Antaraatma
i. Low (Jaghanya)
ii. Partial ( Madhyam)
iii. High (Uttam-Ascetics)
3. Parmatma- Perfect

Stanza 6


There are two types of Parmatma
1. Sakal – with body
2. Nikal – Without body
-Both types are pure, have no emotions(iccha), have infinite bliss, infinite knowledge of entire universe.
-When saints progress on the path to liberation they leave all emotions and become Sakal Parmatma (with body i.e. Arihant) and thence, eventually become bodiless and become Nikal Parmatma (without body i.e. Siddh)
-Infinite knowledge: we bow down to them so we know the laws to attain eternal bliss and happiness. We go to the Parmatma to learn ways to attain spiritual bliss and freedom away from the transmigratory cycle of birth and death.

For Example: Doll is run by three batteries. If no batteries then the doll would be idle. Once we put the batteries in it the doll will start moving.
2 things are happening:
1) Battery is charging the (+, -) side when in contact with the doll so electricity flows into the doll and makes the doll move.
2) Movement of the doll.
-As the doll moves, cells become discharged so you have to recharge the battery.
- Similarly, what ever we do, like play basketball game with motivation to win. But you lost so you come home upset. When you are motivated to win, you are charging karmic particles into you. When you come home they get discharged, making you upset.
- If someone that has never played basketball goes to play, and they lose, then they don’t feel upset because they didn’t charge anything, so there was no need to discharge anything.
- Person drinks lot of alcohol. Now he feels intoxicated,due to the molecules of alcohol, going in the body and will impact senses, due to the destruction of the neurons

-The Particles: Doll, Alcohol
-Impact of Particle on Object: Electrons in the doll. Impact on senses.
Karma are of three types :
(1) Bhaav Karma
(2) Dravya Karma
(3) No karma
Bhav Karma and Dravya Karma have been with us since the beginning of time.
Dravya Karma is material Karma
For Example: karmic particles getting discharged
Bhav Karma is thought karma
For Example: desire/motivation to win, emotions
No Karma is quasi Karma ( body, family, home, etc.)

Sidha have eliminated all karmas i.e. bhaavkarma, dravya karma and nokarma
If we were to send a saint to a basketball game they wont want to play since emotions are less and thus wont feel dejected.

Stanza 7

That which is lacking in consciousness, is called Ajiva. It is of five classes. Matter is characterized by possession of color (rang), taste (ras), odor (gandh), touch (sparsh), Hence Pudgal or matter is characterized by five colors (blue, black, yellow, red and white), five tastes (pungent, bitter, saline, acid and sweet), two odors (fragrance and malodor) and eight kinds of touch (soft, hard, heavy, light, hot, cold, smooth and rough).
The medium of motion for soul and matter is termed DHARMAASTIKAY, i.e. Dharma substance, which is colorless; the medium, of rest is known as ADHARMAASTIKAY, i.e. Adharma substance. Both are described as being without form by Jina.


Stanza 8

-Akaash, i.e. Space is the one, which provides accommodation for all substances.
-Kaal, i.e. Time; practically it is (reckoned as) day-night.
Both Akaash and Kaal are Non-Soul
Asrava is the movement of mind, tongue or body, (i.e. man, vachan and kaya), activated by wrong belief, vowlessness, carelessness and passions.

For Example: you watch a scary movie. We feel scared. Then after 7 days we may feel okay. You watch the movie again and feel less scared since you are densensitized and already know what happened.
End Result = Lot of Aashrav was received the 1st time and less the 2nd time.
When Aashrav is more, it will have bigger impact.
