No doubt, the fibrous pieces of juice are present in both the states. But in one state, the Juice manifests its violent nature and in the other this nature is curbed.

Suppose a stock of molecules of Karma exploded, its nature was to give human birth and in consequence that being got human birth. On his getting human birth, the relevant stock of Karma was destroyed by explosion. But that soul in his lifetime as man would continue accumulating innumerable stocks of Karma as time-bombs and if every time-bomb were to fall off only by explosion. there would be no end to this occurrence. Because one timebomb would explode and millions new wouid be formed.
