Chapter - 3
Samayasāra material atoms of karma-varganā, the subtlemost group of matter. This group has a special affinity for clinging to the soul and a soul, in worldly state, is always associated with it. The gist of the above verses is that psychic modes and states of karma mutually determine each other, i.e., a change in karma may bring about a corresponding psychic change which generally has a predominant affective tone and manifests itself as an emotion or passion in the organism. This emotional psychic state is bhāva karma. Since it is a psychic event its substantial cause (upādāna karaṇa) is the soul itself and not karma. Stated differently, a change in dravya karma acts as an external causal agent and brings about a change in bhāva karma i.e., corresponding change in the purity of the soul. The bhava karma, in its turn, will produce an emotional filling in the form of a psychological distortion. Thus the chain of causation can be diagrammatically represented thus
Dravya Karma (Karmic matter)
Bhāva Karma (Psychic impurity)
Emotion (or feeling) - Psychological distortion
Thus a psychological distortion (anger, hate, fear) emerges as the effect of two causal agents: bhāva karma (substantial cause) and dravya karma (external or auxiliary cause). In the succeeding verses the psycho-physical theory is examined from different aspects. Causal Potency (Efficiency) of the Soul from Both Aspects.
