1.7. Grouping of Human Types by Seven. (PP1.7)

Seven persons to be compared with those immersed in water.
One who once drowned is drowned.
One who is drowned after emergence.
One who remains stationary after emergence.
One who looks around after emergence.
One who swims up after emergence.
One who obtains a firm footing after emergence.
One who as a true Brahmin crosses after emergence and goes to the other shore and establishes himself in fruition.

One emancipated in both ways.
One emancipated by insight.
An eye-witness.
He who has won view.
One emancipated by faith.
One conforming to the Norm.
One conforming by faith.
