________________ Impellent Forces, or Causes. It is not under all circumstances that a person's action or word, or thought would be the cause of the karma, it is only in certain circumstances. That is to say when the exercise of the different faculties of the person is preceded by certain impellent forces, or in other words, when by reason of certain impellent forces in him, a person says something or does something or thinks something, then he generates the Karma. These impellent forces are not the cause, because the cause is the person himself. The circumstantial causes are the instrumental causes, and these are his impellent forces. There are four kinds, namely, as follows: 1. Delusion. When a person is in that condition and does, thinks, or says something, then he generates karma. For instance, by way of Illustration, when a man does not examine the belief into when he is born, as to its merits or demerits. Also doubts come under this beading. Again, when a man knows or believes that his doctrines are wrong and still preaches them, he generates a bad Karma. Again, the state of delusion here meant is found in Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
