======================================
STOPPAGE AND SHEDDING OF KARMA
Stoppage of karma is the absence of influx of karmic particles.
Stoppage of karma is caused by:
self restraint,
conscientiousness,
virtue,
contemplation,
endurance of suffering and
proper conduct.
Both, stoppage and shedding, of karma are caused by penance.
Self-restraint is rational curbing of the activities of body, speech and mind.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conscientiousness constitutes proper care in:
walking,
speaking,
eating,
accepting and placing objects, and
disposing waste products.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ten ultimate virtues are:
Forgiveness,
modesty,
sincerity,
purity of spirit,
truthfulness,
self-control,
conquest of desires,
renunciation,
nonpossessiveness and
enjoyment of the attributes of the pure soul.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The twelve contemplations are on the following:
Transient nature of life,
absence of other's help in spiritual uplift,
transmigration,
individuality,
distinctness,
impurity of worldly soul,
influx of karma,
stoppage of karma,
shedding of karma,
nature of universe,
difficulty in attaining enlightenment, and
teachings of religion.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Endurance of suffering is essential for the continuation of spiritual advancement and for shedding of karma.
Proper conduct includes equanimity, reinitiation, absolute nonviolence, freedom from subtle passions and passionless actions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Penance:
External penance includes
total fasting,
partial fasting,
special restrictions in accepting food,
giving up delicacies,
sleeping in a lonely place and
mortification of body.
Internal penance includes
atonement,
reverence,
service,
study,
renunciation and
meditation.
Atonement entails self-criticism, repentance, both, refined judgement, renunciation, penance, suspension, expulsion and reinitiation.
Study includes teaching, questioning, contemplation, recitation and preaching.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meditation
Meditation is concentration of thoughts on one particular object by a person with good physical constitution. It lasts for less than 48 minutes.
Meditation is of four kinds:
Sorrowful,
inclement,
righteous and
spiritual.
Righteous and spiritual meditations lead to salvation.
Concentration on removing disagreeable objects is sorrowful meditation.
Concentration on desires for agreeable objects is also sorrowful meditation.
Thinking of suffering from pain as well is sorrowful meditation.
Lastly, desires for worldly pleasures is sorrowful meditation.
Inclement meditation includes taking delight in violence, untruth and stealing, and making designs for preserving means of sensual pleasures.
Righteous meditation includes concentration on teachings of the omniscient, on the removal of delusion, on fruition of karma, and on the nature and constitution of the universe.
The four types of spiritual meditations are:
concentration on the attributes of soul that distinguish it from other entities,
concentration on just one aspect of soul,
concentration on the subtle activity of soul, and
total absorption of the soul in itself which is devoid of all activities.
The first two types of spiritual meditation are practiced by sages who are well-versed in the understanding of scriptures.
The third and fourth types of spiritual meditation are attained by the omniscients with and without yoga activity, respectively.
