14 Marganas : 13. Sangyi Margana

The knowledge generated due to subsidence of the obscuration of NoIndriya i.e. Mind  is called Sangya. The Jivas who have such knowledge due to mind  are known as Sangyi. The Jivas who do not have Mind and are dependent on the other senses only for the knowledge are known as Asangyi.

With mind only one teaches others for well being.One can analyse what is beneficial and non beneficial for him.They are able to respond to the calling of names.   Based upon desires one moves his hands or feet and indulges in trade or hunting activities. Animals like buffalo, elephants, parrots etc belong to this category besides humans. On the other hand all 1-4 sensed jivas are Asangyi. In five sensed Jivas there are Sangyi and Asangyi both.

Asangyi Jivas are found in only  the Tiryanch gati while Sangyi Jivas are there in all four Gati. An Asangyi jiva can take birth in 1^st narak after death with a life span of 10000 years although he would be born a Sangyi. Similarly an Asangyi can take birth in Swarga as Bhavanvasi deva with a life span of 10000 years. The Asangyi does not go beyond this level in heaven or hell. It also implies that Asangyi Tiryanch of 1-4 senses do not go to Narak or  Deva gati. On the other hand a Sangyi Tiryanch can go upto 7^th Narak.

The Asangyi Jivas are Mithydrishti since they do not have capability to realise the self. It is only Sangyi Jivas who can get right knowledge and proceed on Moksha Marg. However Sangyi Jivas are found only upto 12^th Gunasthana since 13^th Gunasthana of Sayog kevali is called devoid of Sangyi Asangyi. This is so because even though they do have physical presence of mind, they do not use mind for knowledge since they have direct keval gyana. Hence they cannot be called Sangyi. They cannot be called Asnagyi either since they have all the knowledge and the mind is physically present though unused. Therefore they are called neither of Sangyi Asangyi . Same is case for 14^th gunasthana and Siddha bhagwan.

A Jiva can continuously take birth as Sangyi Jiva for a maximum period of few hundred Sagar period after which he would definitely take birth as Asangyi jiva . On the other hand one can be in Asangyi state for a period of innumerable pudgala paravartan in Tiryanch form.
