Here is a simple comparison between the 13th and 14th guṇasthāna in Jainism:

13th Guṇasthāna – Sayogī Kevalī

• Name: Sayogī Kevalin (सयोगी केवलिन्)
• State of the soul:

- The soul has attained Keval Jñān (omniscience). - All mohaniya (deluding) karmas are destroyed. - No ignorance, no attachment–aversion as passions.

• “Sayogī” means: still having yoga = some activity of mind, speech, and body (very pure and controlled, but still present).
• Role:

- This is the state of a Tirthankar / Arihant Paramātmā giving deshnā (divine sermon). - The soul is perfect in knowledge, faith, and conduct, but still connected with body & activities until the lifespan karma ends.

• Traditions:

- Both Digambar and Shvetambar accept this as omniscient with activity; only small differences in technical descriptions.

14th Guṇasthāna – Ayogī Kevalī

• Name: Ayogī Kevalin (अयोगी केवलिन्)
• State of the soul:

- Keval Jñān remains, but all activity (yoga) of mind, speech, and body stops completely. - The connection with the body ends within a very tiny fraction of time (samaya).

• “Ayogī” means:

- No yoga, no physical, verbal, or mental activity at all. - Only pure, motionless, liberated soul about to become Siddha.

• Role:

- This is the last instant of embodied existence. - Immediately after this, the soul goes to Siddha-śilā (top of the universe) and becomes a Siddha (liberated soul).

• Traditions:

- Both Digambar and Shvetambar accept this as final, motionless omniscience leading to moksha; wordings in texts may vary slightly, essence is same.

Essence of the Difference

• 13th Guṇasthāna:

- Omniscient with pure activity (teaching, moving, minimal bodily functions). - State of Arihant.

• 14th Guṇasthāna:

- Omniscient without any activity even for a moment. - Final instant before becoming Siddha; then beyond all guṇasthānas.
