General definition (in Jainism)
: HereNow4U: Guna-Sthanas or Fourteen Stages in The Spiritual Evolution of Soul骋耻峁嘺蝉迟丑腻苍补 (啶椸啶｀じ啷嵿ぅ啶距え).鈥擲ages have the path which leads to salvation into fourteen stages, each of which represents a particular state of development, condition or phase of the soul, arising from the quiescence, elimination, or partial quiescence and partial elimination of certain energies of Karma, and the manifestation of those traits and attributes which are held in check by their activity. The fourteen 驳耻峁嘺蝉迟丑腻苍补蝉 classify these attributes and characteristics consistently with the gradual evolution towards the goal.
The fourteen stages of spiritual evolution have been enumerated in verses 9 and 10 of J墨va Kanda of Gomma峁璦s膩ra. They are:
- 尘颈迟丑测腻迟惫补 (delusion),
- 蝉腻蝉腻诲补苍补 (downfall),
- 尘颈艣谤补 (mixed),
- avirata-samyaktva (vow less right belief),
- 诲别艣补-惫颈谤补迟补 (partial vow),
- pramatta-virata (imperfect vow)
- apramatta-virata (perfect vow),
- 补辫奴谤补惫补-办补谤补峁嘺 (new thought-activity),
- 补苍颈惫峁泃迟颈-办补谤补峁嘺 (advanced thought activity),
- 蝉奴办峁补-蝉补尘辫补谤腻测补 (slightest delusion)
- 耻辫补艣腻苍迟补-尘辞丑补 (subdued delusion),
- 办峁Ｄ玭补-尘辞丑补 (delusion less),
- sayoga-kevali [Jina] (vibrating omniscient conquerer),
- ayoga-kevali (non-vibrating omniscient).
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
