[Full title: Nine Tattvas: Journey of Soul towards 惭辞办峁�a (6) 厂补峁僾补谤补]

1 Definition and its Nature

In nine tattvas, 蝉补峁僾补谤补 is the sixth tattva. It is competent to close the gates of 膧蝉谤补惫补 and inhibit the influx. It is one of the essential principles to attain salvation. Defining 蝉补峁僾补谤补 the Tattvartha 厂奴迟谤补 states, the checking of the inflow of new karma by soul is called 鈥榠nhibition (蝉补峁僾补谤补).^[1] Nandi c奴rni states, 鈥�蝉补峁僾补谤补 is renunciation鈥�^[2]. It prevents further inflow of karmas.

For an aspirant, for the final emancipation, the fivefold 腻蝉谤补惫补蝉 must be blocked by the fivefold 蝉补峁僾补谤补.^[3] They are:

1. Samyaktva (Right attitude): To be free from wrong faith and an unerring belief or firm conviction in the truthfulness of truth.

2. Virati (Abstinence): To renounce all the eighteen kinds of sinful activities.

3. 础辫谤补尘腻诲补 (Spiritual alertness): To have keen desire towards righteous deeds. The aspirant with apram膩da 蝉补峁僾补谤补 is completely engrossed in the self. His every action has soul in centre.

4. 础办补峁Ｄ乱补 (Freedom from passions): The complete absence of or suppression of anger, greed, ego and deceit etc. is aka峁Ｄ亂a 蝉补峁僾补谤补. In this 蝉补峁僾补谤补 the aspirant attains the mystical state of 惫墨迟补谤腻驳补 (the state of free from attachment).

5. Ayoga 蝉补峁僾补谤补 (Motionlessness): It means ceasing all the mental, vocal and bodily activities. The accomplishment of this 蝉补峁僾补谤补 leads to salvation, the summum bonum of mystic experience.

2 厂补峁僾补谤补 in Context of Mysticism

For an aspirant, to attain the final emancipation or salvation the fivefold 膧蝉谤补惫补 must be blocked by the fivefold 蝉补峁僾补谤补. As the aspirant ascends step by step to the each 蝉补峁僾补谤补, it elevates its soul to the highest stage of spirituality (骋耻峁嘺蝉迟丑腻苍补蝉). In whole the 蝉补峁僾补谤补 (principle) tattva values the right world viewand right conduct. It culminates the perfection of both. The aspirant by practicing 蝉补峁僾补谤补 gradually deplits the cause of bondage and moves from a艣耻产丑补 yoga (inauspicious activity) to 艣耻产丑补 yoga (auspicious activity) and ultimately to suddhopayoga (pure consciousness).

Emphasizing the practice of 蝉补峁僾补谤补, 叠丑补驳补惫补墨 states,

鈥淎 self inhibited ascetic converts the firmly bound karma into loosely bound karma, those that are of long duration into those of short duration, those which are of strong intensity into those of weak intensity and those which are of bigger mass into those of smaller mass鈥�.^[4]

The mystic鈥檚 journey of spiritual realization starts from samyaktva sa峁僾ar膩 and terminates in ayoga 蝉补峁僾补谤补. In the state of samyaktva samvar the mystic aspirant experiences the mystic spark. From this point he initiates in soul鈥檚 purification with desire of self-realization and liberation. Then by vrata 蝉补峁僾补谤补 it trains its body, mind and soul in renunciation that causes purification. In the intermediary stages it attains higher purification by being centred in soul and detached from worldly pleasure. In the state of passionless state it experiences the mystical realisation i.e. self-realisation with infinite bliss. Lastly, after the stage of ayoga 蝉补峁僾补谤补, the mystic by complete cessation of activity experiences the first moment of boundless state of the soul and the highest stage of spiritual purification, the summum bonum of mystical state.
