Answer

In Jain Dharma, no gunasthana makes one “equal to devtas” in a true spiritual sense.

Explanation

• Gunasthanas measure the spiritual purity of the soul.
• Devtas are beings in heavenly realms, but they are still worldly souls because they have not yet become liberated.
• So a higher gunasthana does not mean “becoming like a devta.”
• In fact, from a spiritual point of view, a soul at a higher gunasthana can be more purified than a devta, even without divine powers.

If you mean “at what stage can one be born as a devta?”, that depends on punya karma, not on one single gunasthana alone.

Spiritual Understanding

Jainism teaches that the real goal is not to become a devta, but to purify the soul and move toward moksha. Devtas enjoy pleasure, but they are still within samsara. A human soul progressing on the path of right faith, right conduct, and austerity is spiritually moving beyond that level.

Takeaway

Devtahood is not the highest ideal in Jainism. The true aim is Atma-shuddhi and ultimately moksha.
