In the absence of any age determining karma the true pure modes of this accommodative attribute shine and the soul now has no dependency on any karma. Now this pure soul- Sidhdha's soul-can accommodate himself with other pure infinite souls within the same space units.
131. What is "Not too heavy - Not too light” non-affirmative attribute of the soul (Aguru
laghutva pratijivi guna)?
With status determining karma, (Gotra karma) the soul obtains status - high status and low status. In the soul, the absence of status determining karma makes high and low status invalid and the soul is neither too heavy nor too light.
