perception-obscuring karmas, twenty-six varieties of deluding karmas, five kinds of obstructive karmas, the infernal state of existence, the animal state of existence, the four classes of beings (beings with one, two, three and four senses respectively), the five kinds of structure of the body, the five kinds of joints, inauspicious colour, odour, taste and touch, movement of the soul towards the place of infernal birth, impelling the soul towards the place of animal birth, self-annihilation, awkward motion, one-sensed body, subtle body, incomplete development of organs and faculties, common body, infirmness of limbs, ugliness, bad looks (causing disgust or loathing), illsounding voice, lustreless body and disgrace. The namekarmas are thirty-four. Unpleasant feeling-producing karma, infernal life-karma and low status-determining karma are three. Thus bondage has been explained in detail. These can be perceived directly by clairvoyance, telepathy and omniscience, and can be understood from the scriptures taught by those possessed of direct knowledge.
Jain, S.A., Reality, p. 237.
Morality is purity-from within and without Morality in religion means a God-like attitude of Purity and Love towards all beings. For religion aims at turning men into Gods, and there is no room in it for the hollow sentimentality of the world which exhausts itself in wordy protestations of goodness and virtue. It is not an admirer of wolves in sheep's skin, who for securing the good opinion of their stupid and insincere neighbours go down on their knees and offer up long and elaborate prayers in public, who give a small pittance of their wealth with all the noise and fuss that they can make for a mention in the press, who place large sums of money at the disposal of royalty to secure a title, or who shed crocodile tears
