A Treatise on Jainism
without any circumstances cannot have its destruction due to any circumstances.
As such Soul is ever-lasting. 3. The Soul is the doer. All substances are
full with some actions and results thereof are seen. Soul is also full with actions. and is therefore the doer thereof. In the real sense self-absorption is its action but in the practical sense it is the doer
of Karmas due to thought-activities.... 4. The Soul is the enjoyer. There is always
the fruit of whatever action is done. Such is the experience. There is fruit of poison if it is consumed, there is fruit of sugar if it is taken, there is fruit of fire touch if that is done, there is fruit of snow touch if that is done. Similarly there is fruit of whatever way the Soul acts, viz., with passions or without passions. The Soul is therefore the enjoyer
of those actions which he does. 5. There is Moksha (Liberation). The Soul
is the doer of Karmas and the enjoyer of the fruits of its Karmas. However, there is destruction of these Karmas also.
