________________ SUTRAS THE NATURE OF KARMIC BONDS 123 group of karma. Karma whose character it is to obstruct access to knowledge, can e.g. never determine the duration and place of an incarnation The intensity in which karma manifests, reflects the 'drive' and force with which we pursued the activity that originally caused the binding of this particular karma. In this process the number of karmic molecules that activate simultaneously determines the degree of intensity with which karma manifests. The subtypes of karma that determines the duration and place of future embodiment(s) (ayu) and karma that prevents insight and understanding (darshana-varana) always manifest the exact theme that was originally bound. The subtypes of the other main types of karma, i.e.: - karma that causes delusion (mohaniya) - karma that obstructs access to the five channels of knowledge (jnana) - karma that determines our feeling of life (vedaniya) - karma that determines form and features of our body (nama) - karma that determines the status we carry in our social envi ronment (gotra) and - karma that causes obstruction in life (antaraya) can manifest in a different subtype than the one originally bound. Yet they always manifest the theme of the respective main group. SUTRA 23 Jast FAURT II 23 11 Tatashcha nirjara (23) After its activation our bond to the activated karma is dissolved (nirjara).
