331. How many different types of material inflow are there (Davya Ashrav)?
There are two types: Long term inflow (Samparayik Ashrav) and instantaneous inflow (Iryapath Ashrav).
332. What is meant by long-term inflow (Samparayik Ashrav)?
When soul's passions become an instrumental cause, the karma particles become bonded to the soul. These karma stay with the soul for a somewhat longer period of time, called long term inflow.
333. What is the instantaneous inflow (Iryapath Ashrav)?
When soul's vibratory activity (Yog) becomes the instrumental cause, the bondage, the fruition, and the shedding of karma occur within one smallest unit of time (Samay). It is called instantaneous inflow.
334. Who is the owner of both of the above-mentioned inflows?
Long term inflow of karma with soul's passions and instantaneous inflow without passions are both owned by the soul.
335. What is the reason for good deed (Punya) and bad deed (Pap) inflow?
The cause for good deed inflow is the auspicious vibrations of the soul's space unit (Shubh yog). The cause for bad deed inflow is the inauspicious vibrations of the soul's space unit (Ashubh yog).
336. What is called the auspicious and inauspicious vibratory activities of the soul's
space unit?
The vibratory activities of the soul's space units created by the auspicious internal thought process of the soul (Shubh bhav) is called the auspicious vibratory activity of the soul's space units (Shubh yog), and one created by the inauspicious internal thought process of the soul (Ashubh bhav) is called the inauspicious vibratory activities of the soul's space units (Ashubh yog).
337.
Is it possible that during the auspicious vibratory activity of the soul's space units that there could be an inflow of bad deed karma?
Yes.
