    In 11 Th Gunsthanak no Paap Bhav?

    2 hrs ago 5

    Answer

    Yes, in the 11th Gunasthānak there is no active pāp bhāv in the ordinary sense.

    The 11th Gunasthānak is called Upaśānta Moha Gunasthānak, where mohanīya karma is suppressed. Because delusion and passions are fully suppressed at that stage, the soul does not have sinful inner states like anger, pride, deceit, greed, attachment, hatred, or harmful intention.

    Explanation

    In Jain Dharma, pāp bhāv mainly arises due to:

    • Mithyātva — wrong belief
    • Kaṣāya — anger, pride, deceit, greed
    • Rāga-dveṣa — attachment and aversion
    • Pramāda — spiritual carelessness

    In the 11th Gunasthānak:

    • Mithyātva is absent.
    • Kaṣāyas are completely suppressed.
    • Mohanīya karma is not destroyed, but temporarily quietened.
    • The soul remains in very pure spiritual awareness.

    So, from the viewpoint of inner intention, there is no pāp bhāv at that stage.

    Important Point

    The 11th Gunasthānak is not final liberation because the passions are only suppressed, not destroyed.

    That is why a soul can fall down from the 11th Gunasthānak if the suppressed moha rises again.

    The 12th Gunasthānak is higher because there the mohanīya karma is destroyed, not merely suppressed.

    Takeaway

    In the 11th Gunasthānak, there is no active pāp bhāv because delusion and passions are fully suppressed. But since moha is not destroyed, this state is temporary and not yet final liberation.
