________________ 114 KARMA - THE MECHANISM SUTRAS SUTRA 12 verlet 8t II 92 11 Uchchairnichaishcha (12) Karma that determines the status we carry in our social environment (gotra) manifests - our birth in a (family-) environment with high status - our birth in a (family-) environment with low status. (12) See 'ATTRACTION TO KARMA', commentary on sutra 26. SUTRA 13 दानलाभभोगोपभोगवीर्याणाम् ॥ १३ ॥ Danalabhabhogopabhogaviryanam (13) Karma that causes obstruction in life (antaraya), interferes with our ability - to give or receive recognition and gifts (dana) - to acquire earnings, gains and profit (labh) - to enjoy consumable things (bhoga) - to enjoy things that bring happiness but are not consumed (upabhoga) - to unfold and realize our capacities, power and vitality. (13) This type of karma hinders us to reach our goals and to realize our wishes. It further prevents us from feeling fulfilled after we achieved an objective. It makes us feel dissatisfied even though we were highly motivated and attained the material success we desired. Jain Education International For Personal & Private Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
