The 14 marganas represent
the features by which a Jiva may
be recognized. So far we have seen Gati, Indriya and Kaya. The fourth is Yoga.
Each Jiva has a yoga of one type or another throughout his life by which he can
be identified. Yoga by itself means vibration of soul Pradesh which occurs due
to the fruition of Sharir Naam Karma and by presence of desire to indulge in
activity of speech, Mind or body which in turn causes matter particles to
convert into karma and nokarmas. Binding of these karmas and nokarmas is
responsible for manifestation of various attributes of Jiva and his body. Thus
the cycle continues. From beginingless time the jiva is associated with a body
and karmas and hence the yoga is also present. The true state of Jiva is Ayogi
i.e. when vibration of any kind is absent and then the Jiva is truly at peace
with himself. The vibration of soul space is called Dravya Yoga while the activation
of matter particles into karma nokarma is called Bhava Yoga. Yoga itself is
broadly of three types which are detailed into 15 types. The three types are
Vachan ( speech), mana ( Mind) and Kaya (body).
1.
Vachan Yoga ( Yoga of speech) : Firstly
this yoga is possible only for the jivas who have capability of speech
i.e. with two senses and above. This can be of four types :
Satya ( true), Asatya( Untrue), Ubhaya(
both), Anubhaya( Neither) which can be the four ways a thing can be spoken.
Where a thing is told as is known to serve the objective, is called truth. For
example where water is told which serves the purpose of drinking etc. However
where water is told but no water is available e.g in mirage then it is untruth.
Where truth and untruth both are together , it is called Ubhaya( both) e.g a
cup may be called a pot since it contains water hence is true but since it is
not shaped like a pot, it is untrue also. Lastly where neither of ture or
untrue are applicable is called Anubhaya( neither) e.g inviting someone or just
addressing someone does not convey truth or untruth.e.g hey Deodatta! The
speech of two sensed Jivas is also called Anubhaya since it does not convey any
meaning , being non verbal. These are just sounds which represent their
happiness or unhappiness etc.
2.
Manoyoga ( Yoga of Mind) : Like speech
the yoga of mind is also of four types: Satya ( true), Asatya (Untrue), Ubhaya
( both) and Anubhaya( Neither). Here effort of the mind to convey the truth of
object would cause the vibration of soul pertaining to truth and is known as
Satya Manoyoga. On the other hand the effort to convey the untruth would result
if Astaya Manoyoga. Where the effort is of the nature to convey neither truth
nor untruth then it is called Ubhaya Manoyoga. Lastly where the effort of the
mind which causes yoga of neither type , then it is known as Anubhaya manoyoga.
It may be noted that this type of yoga would be applicable to Jivas who have
the mind. These are Jivas with five senses only since others do not have mind
hence they shall not have such yoga either.
The reason for
Asatya and Anubhaya Vachan and Manoyoga is fruition of Gyanavaraniya and
Darshanavarniya ( Knowledge and vision obscuring ) Karmas. The only difference
is that for Asatya the obscuration is strong and for Anubhaya , the obscuration
is weak in terms of intensity. One may question that why it could not be due to
fruition of Mohaniya of the type of belief or conduct ? The answer is that besides
the Mithyadrishti jiva of first gunasthana, even the samyak drishti jivas of 4th
and above may also indulge in Asatya etc
even though they do not have fruition of Mithyatva hence the cause for asatya
is only obscuration of knowledge and vision . In Kevali bhagwan of 13th
gunasthana he has satya and anubhaya
vachan and manoyoga since he does not have obscuration of knowledge. It may be
asked that why it could be called Anubhaya ? The reason is that his speech is
in the form of divine sound which is non verbal hence is called anubhaya.
Another question may be asked that how Manoyoga is possible for Kevali who is
now beyond senses ? The answer is that it is an informal statement. It is true
that his knowledge is direct and not due to senses, and the mind is not
involved in knowing a thing but the mind is present nevertheless in physical
form , therefore informally it is said that Manoyoga is present for him.
On the other
hand Kevali bhagwan in 14th gunsthana is Ayogi since the sharir naam
karma has been destroyed therefore he does not have yoga of any type either.
3.
Kaya Yoga ( Yoga of Body) : Kaya yoga is
of seven types –
3.1.
Audarik Kaya Yoga : Collection of
physical matter is audarik body. By fruition of Audarik sharir naam karma , the
manifestation of physical matter particles into Audark sharir form is Audarik
Kaya. Compared to Vaikriyik sharir , this body is much coarser, hence is called
Audarik. Even though the Sookshma Ekendriya Jivas have a very fine body which
is not blocked by any hindrance, it is still called Audarik sharir. Audarik
kayayoga is the cause of collection of physical matter particles of audarik
form into the Audarik sharir form. Thus the vibration of soul space is
responsible for the manifestation of the Audarik body continuously. This type
of Kaya yoga is applicable to Human and Tiryanch ( animal) forms.
3.2.
Audarik Mishra Kaya Yoga : When a
Jiva moves from one body to next, he goes without any body except accompaniment
of Karmana and Tejasa sharir. This can take maximum of 3 samay period and is
called Vigrah Gati. Once he reached the destination his body starts forming and
is called Aparyapta ( Incomplete) for a period of Antarmuhurta ( less than 48
minutes) till his body formation is completed. Then he is called Paryapta (
complete). During this period of incompleteness his Kaya yoga is Audarik Mishra
which is responsible for the vibration of soul space resulting in collection of
karma and nokarma particles resulting in formation of body. This kaya yoga is
also applicable to human and Tiryanch forms.
3.3.
Vaikriyik Kaya Yoga : Vikriya
stands for super power of transforming body shape into small, large, light or
heavy etc. Such bodies belong to Deva and Narakis known as Vaikriyik sharir.
The vibration of soul space for collection of particles of such nature into
Vakriyik sharir is called Vaikriyik Kaya Yoga.
3.4.
Vaikriyik Mishra Kaya Yoga : When
a Jiva moves after death to take birth as Naraki or Deva, after Vigrah Gati of
maximum 3 samay period, he reaches the destination and starts forming the body.
In that incomplete stage, he has Vaikriyik Mishra type of Kaya yoga which is
the vibration of soul space responsible for collection of physical particles
into Vaikriyik sharir form. This incomplete state is also for less than
antarmuhurta.
3.5.
Aharak Kaya Yoga : A special body is created by Pramatta Virat
Muni of 6th Gunasthana when he wishes to pay obeisance to some
inaccessible Tirtha Kshetra or visit Tirthankara for clarification of some
doubts in the scripture. This is a secondary body known as Aharak Sharir where
his Audarik Body is incapable of travelling. Only Muni who have bonded with
Aharak sharir naam karma earlier in 7th or 8th gunasthana
are capable of forming this type of body on fruition of that naam karma. This
is a magical body devoid of seven types of metal elements without bones or joints. White in colour like
a diamond and is of the size of one arm length which is equal to 24 fingers.
This body is formed at the head of the muni and is divine by nature. This body
is not obstructed by mountains etc and travel to desired destination and return
within less than antarmuhurta which is
the total life span of this body. Since this body is meant to visit Kevali
bhagwan for absorbing fine meaning of scriptures, it is called Aharak. During
the life span of the body, the physical matter of special nature is collected
for maintenance of Aharak body by means of Aharak Kaya Yoga.
3.6.
Aharak Mishra Kaya Yoga : Prior to
completion of Aharak sharir , the
incomplete state is called Aharak Mishra state wherein the Aharak Mishra Kaya
Yoga is in practice to complete the formation of Aharak body for a period of
less than Antarmuhurta.
3.7.
Karmana Kaya Yoga: When a jiva
moves after death in Vigrah gati, he is accompanied with Karmana sharir which
is a body formed with karmic particles of the eight types. At that time Karmana
sharir naam karma is in fruition and the karmic body is maintained with
Karamana Kaya Yoga for a period of maximum 3 samay period. If a jiva takes
birth without any bend in travel , known as direct travel , he does not take
any time for next birth and therefore he does not have karmana kaya yoga in the
intermediate period either. If the travel requires one two or three bends , it
takes one two or three samay period and this kaya yoga is prevalent. Besides,
this kaya yoga is experienced by Kevali Bhagwan at the time of Kevali Smudghat
which is the enlargement of his body nearing completion of his age for
equalization of periods of balance karmas. This process takes eight samay
period. Out of these the 3 samay period in the center correspond to karmana
kaya yoga which is present at that time. At other time karmana kaya yoga is not
present.
Rules pertaining to Yoga Margana : As a rule the
manifestation of a typical Yoga is for a maximum period of one antarmuhurta
after which another yoga would take over e.g. kaya yoga would become manoyoga
or vachanyoga. The minimum period could be 1 samay when there is interference
between yogas. For example one person came to manoyoga and after 1 samay itself
he dies , so yoga would become kayayoga. Therefore he spent only one samay in
manoyoga. We may think that we could be doing activities
of mind, speech and body altogether hence all three yogas should be present
simultaneously , but it is not so. Only one yoga is active at a time while
other two yogas are absent though the activity may be continuing due to
momentum. Just as a potter spins the wheel and even when he stops spinning ,
the wheel continues rotation, in the same way even when other yoga are absent ,
the corresponding activity may continue due to samsakara. However for one
sensed jivas who do not have speech or mind the other yogas cannot exist hence
they have kayayoga at all times. In two to five sensed jivas without mind, they
have two yogas; and in five sensed jivas with mind they would have all three
yogas.
Munis pertaining to 6th gunasthana do not have
Vaikriyik sharir but they may have vaikriyik kriya i.e. modification e.g.
expansion, contraction of their body on account of divine powers. This is
termed as Vaikriyik Kaya yoga. However they cannot have Aharak kayayoga at the
same time when they are indulging in Vaikriyik kriya.
Only Ayog kevali bhagwan of 14th gunasthana do
not have any of the three yogas since all their activities have been stopped.
Further any Siddha bhagwan do not have any yoga. One may say that without yoga
he may not have strength , but it is not so. Inherently by nature Jivas have
infinite virya Shakti which was obscured due to presence of karmas. Now since
the karmas are destroyed, the natural strength is available in full strength.
Yoga of a jiva is responsible for the bondage of Prakriti
(nature ) and Pradesh ( Quantity) of any karma while his Kashaya ( passion) is
responsible for the sthiti ( duration) and anubhag (intensity) of bondage.
Some of the Agnikayik and Vayukayik Jivas which are only one
sensed and have only kayayoga, may also have Vakriyik kayayoga wherein they are
able to modify their bodies. Similarly some of the Triyanch of five sense types
have this capability. In humans apart
from 6th gunasthana munis, Chakravarti kings of karmabhoomi are also able
to indulge in Vaikriyik kaya yoga by creating several of their bodies
simultaneously.
The duration of any yoga when all three are present is said
to be one antarmuhurta but there are innumerable varieties of anatarmuhurta
with maximum pertaining to less than 48 minutes. The minimum period of time
Jiva spends is in Satya Manoyoga. Compared to that 4 times he spends in Asatya
Manoyoga. Compared to Asatya he spends 4
times in Ubhaya manoyoga and compared to Ubhaya he spends 4 times in Anubhaya
Manoyoga. Thus the proportion of the four is 1:4:16:64. Compared to Manoyoga he
spends 4 times more time in Vachan yoga with same type of proportions. Compared
to Vachan yoga he spends 4 times more time in Kayayoga. In this way we can see
that the numberof Jivas in Satya Manoyoga shall be minimum at a given time
while KayaYoga shall be maximum. In any case due to inclusion of one sensed
Jivas the number of Jivas having kayayoga alone is infinite.
