The Concept of Matter in Jaina Philosophy
times deep, just so this Bhāvakarma is sometimes intense and sometimes mild in the presence of the colour of passion with the operation of activity (yogavyāpāra); just as a piece of clothdevoid of colour can be small or large, just so the activity free from passion can also becomes more or less. But there becomes the absense of intensity of mildness (mandatā) of luminosity, being the cause of colour. For this reason, the importance of colour-communicating passion is more with regard to activity. Therefore, only passion is called Bhāvakarma. In the binding of Dravyakarma both activity and passion1 have usually been accepted as the efficient cause, still this is the reason of accepting only passion as Bhāvakarma. In a nutshell, the four passions (kaşāyas)--anger, pride, deceitfulness and greed or the faults-attachment, aversion and delusions are Bhāvakarma. Soul becomes bound by receiving Dravyakarma from them. 1. Jogā payaļipaesam țhii aņubhāgaṁ kasāyāu-Pañcama
