The Inner Nature and the Outer Nature.
AN EPITOME OF JAINISM.
experiential body which brings about a new arrangement in the atomic distribution of the karma-pudgal composing the' karmasarira.
Whatever might be the mystery, it is clear and certain that human thoughts and desires are embodied in or objectified into the human karma-sarira. Thus the karmasarira then forms the 'inner'-nature of which the visible man is but an 'outer' expression. The Inner and the Outer, according to our philosophy, are not essentially different. They are the same essentially with this difference only that one manifests through the other and stand to each other in the relation of mutual intermutation. Just as there is no essential difference between force and exertions; for force is only known in and through exertion making it to be the effect of the cause which is no other than the force itself: so what is 'inner' is but the invisible cause of what is outer which is but an effect in a visible form.
