Chapter 5 – A Line of Demarcation between the first four and last four Yogadṛṣṭis [13 of 121]
Chapter 5.2 – Vedyasaṃvedyapada and Avedyasaṃvedyapada [8 of 13]
Avedyasaṃvedyapada [4 of 9]
Definition of avedyasaṃvedyapada [3 of 8]
On the contrary an avedyasaṃvedyapada holder, who is infested by intense delusion regarding reality (mahāmithyātva), would acknowledge the above mentioned knowables in exactly other manner then they are explained in the sacred texts by omniscient ones. Such adverse knowledge pertaining to knowables take place in an avedyasaṃvedyapada holder because his intellect is born out of the destruction–cum–subsidence of ajñānāvaraṇa karman. Just like one has illusion of water in mirage and confirms his illusory perception to be right by his intellect. Similarly, the subject in question considers that ‘these knowables are causes of pain and pleasure.’ In reality his afore mentioned type of intellect suffers from vices viz. attachment, aversion and so on. Therefore, he perceives heya objects as worth accepting and upādeya objects as worth abandoning. He has misconception regarding objects of worldly existence. He considers them as the source of happiness and joy. Hence, he spends his entire life in seeking pleasure from the objects of worldly existence. While doing so he gets only pain and miseries. He accumulates a lot of inauspicious karman, in this birth, conducive to taking lower rebirth forms in next births. It forms a ceaseless chain of accumulating bad karman followed by lower rebirth forms and ultimately pain and miseries.
