6.Ashuchi Bhavana:
The term “Asuchi” simply means ‘impure’.Whose impurity is talked about here?
Here the impurity of the body is talked about.Our body is actually very impure or rather dirty and we all know it, but do not accept this.
This thought or bhavana is to make the soul realize that the body with which he is having so much of attraction is actually so dirty and how he could like it or get attached with it?
I being a doctor, has seen human body from very close.When we open the body, everything is so dirty and it smells very bad.And you know many things are so dirty that we even do not want to see them again.
“Pal rudhir raagh mal thairy kikasawa aditein maily
Nav dwar bahein ghin kaari, ass deh karey kim yaari?”
Sri Daulatramji in his Chhah dhala says that this body is made of pus, blood,bone, muscles, faecal matter, fats and other impure and dirty substances and the waste products from this body comes out from nine gates viz anus, mouth, 2 ears, 2 eyes,sweat-pores of skin,2 nostrils.And when these waste comes out, then you don’t even feel to like to see it, then how you (soul) can have attachment with this body?
“Jiske shringaaron maim era yah menhga jeevan ghul jaata,
Atyant ashuchi jad-kaaya se iss chetan ka kaisa naata?”
Sri Yugalji asks that this impure body and its make-up, the soul’s precious human life is wasted is actually not worthy of his attachment.How can a knowledgeable soul have attachment with this impure and non-living body?
Note: Here this bhavana is not to produce the feeling off hatred towards the body, but it is just to say that soul is different and body is different, soul is pure in reality while body is impur in reality.Both are different , but due to his beginingless ignorance this soul is having attachment with this body and is roaming around in the vicious cycle of birth and death.

7.Aashrav bhavna:
The term ‘Ashrav’ means ‘the coming or influx of the karmas’.
Sahrav is one of the seven tattvas of realities as described by Sri Jinendra bhagwan.
Pt.Daulatramji, in his Chhah dhala says that due to the nimmitha or yog of man-vachan-kaay or thought-speech and action, there occurs vibrations in the soul which causes the influx of the karmas.This is called as Aashrav.This Aashrav causes sorrows to the soul.The ones who are wise will try to get away from the aashrav.
“Din raat shubhaashubh bhaavon se mera vyaapar chalaa karta
Manas vaani aru kaaya se aashrav ka dwar khula rehta.”
Sri Yugalji says that this soul due to earlier bonded karmas or due to ignorance about the true nature of the self-soul,does non-self-nature feelings like good or punyas and bad or paaps, and then through the means of these thoights, speech and the actions, there occurs the influx of new karmas and this is called as aashrav.
Sri Mangatramji in his barah bhavna gives example of a boat.He says that if soul is a boat then his ignorance causes hole or holes in the boat, through which the water enters into the boat and we all know how much harm this water can do to the boat in a sea.So is the case of this aatma or soul and the influx of karmas or aashrav is like the entry of water into the boat.
