Samayasāra
karma and karmaphala, he remains aloof from all these. With the enlightenment comes, the conviction that the soul and Karmic matter each determine its own modification itself and neither of them has the causal action on the other. In other words, soul is the cause of its own modes and the karmic matter is the cause of its own. If the different aspects of view are borne in mind, both the empirical and the transcendental propositions are not incompatible. Verse no. 3.11 reiterates the cosmic law that the matter, inspite of its propensity for interaction with the soul (jīva), conscious substance always retains its own fundamental character. It can neither transmute into nor can be transmuted by jiva.
Psycho-physical Relation
Soul and Karma serve each other as External Cause of Modification

(Jīvapariṇāmahedum) The psychic changes serve as the external cause for (poggalā kammattam pariṇamamti) mutation of the karmic matter into karma, (taheva) in the same way (poggalakammaṇimittam) change in the material karma (jivovi pariņamadi) serves as external cause for psychic mutation (such as anger, attachment).
(Jivo) The soul (kammagune na vi kuvvadi) cannot produce attributes of karma, (taheva) in the same way (kammam jīvaguṇe)
