Ch. 7: Sadhana
1. Body and five senses perceive external events that affect the body and soul causing an inflow of dravya karma (Nimitta karan)
2. The body & senses send impulses to the mind and the brain
Body/Senses
Mind/Brain
Thoughts arise here
Passions Bhava/Chitta arise here
Jiva/ Soul
5. The soul generates endless bhava-waves (kashaya bhava and kshayik bhava) causing bhava center (chitta) to release bhava karma (response to the perceived external events).
3. The mind and brain send thought signals to the bhava centre.
4. Mind may respond spontaneously without consulting bhava center.
