thruchitrambalam, freinds now i explain the stages of dasa-kariams(ten deeds)
DHASA KARIAM: In the journey of the soul towards the higher states ten stages occur. These stages are classified by the saiva philosophers. Each stage has certain characters and from each stage with the help of the guru the soul progress to the complete union with the absolute. 1. TATHVA ROOPAM: in this stage the soul learns about the 36 tathvas of the world. The tathvas of the world are indhriya, than mathra, nadis, vayus, boothas, the skin, suddha tathvas, vidhya thathvas, ahangara, sthva,sookumai,vak, manas etc. the soul learns about the thathva worlds and its genesis and nemesis. The soul senses the differences from this worldly tathvas. 2. THATHVA DHARSANAM: The soul learns to dissociate from the tatvas . The gift of the knowledge it learns from this process is tathva darsanam. 3. THATHVA SUDDHI: Fom the complete separation from the worldly thathvas the soul becomes clean. This happens only by the divine grace. 4. ANMA ROOPAM: the soul learns itself as separate from the life experience and learns it is the consciousness that matters. 5. ANMA DHARSANAM: It is through the divine grace the soul gets the consciousness and the actions. The soul learns the divine grace. 6. ANMA SUDDHI: The soul learns that it cannot do anything by itself. Hence it learns to stay without actions and joins itself with lord siva's actions. 7. SIVAROOPAM: The soul learns that it is completely under the control of the divine and it learns it through the guru. It also learns the divine grace is in its inside and act through him from within. 8. SIVA DHRSANAM: The soul loses its identity and possession completely merges with sivam 9. SIVA YOHAM: The soul learns that from within and without the divine siva's grace is controlling him. It loses all its mala influence. It is completely submerged into the grace of sivam 10. SIVA BOHAM: The soul has lost itself altogether. It ceases to exist. It is one and one with the union in the bliss of the sivam.
