In
Karma theory Part 4 I have mentioned that
Charitra Mohaniya Karma is divided into two parts
1. Kashaya and 2. No-Kashaya.Kashaya are further divided into
four groups of
four each. These are
1. Anantanuvandhi2. Apratyakhyanavaraniya or Apratyakhyani3. Pratyakhyanavaraniya or Pratyakhyani4. Sanjwalan These four groups demonstrate capacity of a Kashya to restrain
Atma from ascending
Gunasthana.
Anantanuvandhi resists
Atma to obtain
Samyaktwa and keeps in
Mithyatwa.
Apratyakhyanavaraniya or Apratyakhyani resists from taking any vows keeps
Atma in
Avrati stage.
Pratyakhyanavaraniya or
Pratyakhyani resists
Atma from obtaining monk hood or complete vows. It resists Jeeva from total sacrifice and keeps in Desh Virati stage.
Sanjwalan Kashaya restricts Jeeva from obtaining
Veetrag dasha i.e. total abolution of Mohaniya Karma.
These four Kashaya (Each) are further classified into four categories according to the nature of the particular Kashaya. These four are
1. Krodh (Anger)
2. Man (Ego)
3. Maya (Deceiving)
4. Lobh (Greed)
Hence, Kashaya are of 4X4 types i.e. 16.
No- Kashaya: Here "No" means supporting. There are nine
No-Kashaya those are not themselves Kashaya but act as catalyst to Kashaya. These motivates and provoke
Jeeva to act on Kashayik Bhava or Parinam.
1. Hasya (Laugh)
2. Rati (Liking)
3. Arati (Disliking)
4. Bhay (Fear)
5. Shok (Mourning)
6. Duganchha or Jugupsa (Hatred) Above mentioned six are referred as
Hasyadi Shatak.
There are three
Veda which are also included among nine No- Kashaya. Veda represents sexual desires.
1. Purush Veda (Male sex)2. Shtree Veda (Female sex)3. Napunsak Veda (Impotent)
Please note that these
Veda are not related to physical appearances but to sexual desires.
Sixteen
Kashaya and nine
No- Kashaya altogether are twenty five types of
Charitra Mohaniya Karma. While we include three types of
Darshan Mohaniya karma we get a result of twenty eight types of
Mohaniya Karma.
Please remember that
Mohaniya karma is the emperor of all Karma.
Jain karma theory warns to be cautious of these karma.
Karma theory of Jainism preaches to eradicate
Darshan Mohaniya karma and
Anantanuvandhi kashaya at first stage to achieve
Samyaktwa or
Samyag Darshan. And then to eradicate rest of twelve Kashaya and nine No- Kashaya including Hasyadi Shatak and three Veda to obtain
Veetraga dasha. Veetraga dasha is the only way to achieve
Keval Jnyan (Gyan) or omniscience.
Wish every reader eradication of Mohaniya karma to obtain Veetraga dasha.
