Until which gunasthan does kshayopshamic samyag darshan last?
Answer
Kshayopashamik samyag darshan generally lasts up to the 7th gunasthan. It is present from the 4th to the 7th gunasthan. From the 8th gunasthan onward, it is no longer kshayopashamik; it becomes kshayika samyag darshan.Explanation
- 4th gunasthan: Avirata Samyagdrishti
- 5th to 7th gunasthan: The soul continues with right faith while progressing in vows and self-discipline
- 8th gunasthan onward: The nature of samyag darshan changes to kshayika
So, if you are asking about the duration of kshayopashamik samyag darshan, the answer is: up to the end of the 7th gunasthan.
Spiritual Understanding
Kshayopashamik samyag darshan means right faith arising through a combination of:- partial destruction of karmas,
- partial suppression of karmas.
This is an important stage because the soul has true faith, but the karmic coverings are not yet fully removed. It is a progressing state, preparing the jiva for deeper purity and higher spiritual development.
