SAMADHI 177NOTESWhen the cloud of virtue dawns, when there is highestknowledge and when Para Vairagya fully manifests, the entirecessation of the effects of the three Gunas comes in. TheGunas operate for the enjoyment, experience and emancipationof the Purusha. The Purusha having realised His nativestate, the Gunas, of course, cease to act, they having fulfilledtheir end. Therefore the succession of the modifications ofGunas comes to an end for the Purusha who has attainedKaivalya.(4) Simultaneous KnowledgeqTqsffirftffi:gr[:IIV-33qurgffirft the uninterrupted sequence of moments,cessation of mod ifi cation, ME' cog n ised d isti ncfl y,!5-rI: succession.The succession is the uninterrupted sequence of momentsdistinctly cognised on the cessation of modilication.NOTESSuccession of moments implies order of time. lts form canonly be understood if you have a knowledge of the minute particle'oftime Kshana.
