Chapter - 3
Sumayasuru psycho-physical relationship must be examined from both aspects and the distinction between the two aspects shows that both propositions are not inconsistent. It may be said that the soul, not only determines its own psychical states, but also enjoys physical objects of sense-presentations, and the proposition that the soul is the essential cause of its own psychical states is compatible with the proposition that it is also the enjoyer of the fruits of karma.
Dual Mutation is Fallacious and Perversion जदि पोग्गलकम्ममिणं कुव्वदितं चेव वेदयदि आदा।

tena du micchäditthí dokiriyāvādino hointi.. 18 (Jadi) If (ādā) the soul (inain poggalakammam kuvvadi ca tam eva vedayadi) produces (i.e. is the material cause of] as well as enjoys the material karma (dravya karma) (dokiriyāvādiritto pasajjude) it would be a case of dual mutation-psychical as well as physical mutation-so jiņāvamadum) which is contrary to what is propounded by the omniscient (Jinendradeva).
(Jamhā du) He, who says that (attabhāvuin ca poggalabhāvam do vi kuvvamti) the soul produces psychical as well as physical attributes (serves as the material cause for both) (teņu du do kiriyavādino micchāditthi hointi) believes in dual mutation-one substance making attributes of two substances-and has, therefore, a perverted belief. Annotations :
The Jain metaphysical view is that a substance is a continuum through the infinite variation of its modes at every moment of its being. The continuum is as much a reality as the modification. Thus there is unity as well multiplicity in perfect harmony. This is the doctrine of anekāntavāda-non-absolutism.
The fundamental cosmic law is that every substance is entirely
