PHILOSOPHY OF SOUL
241
Soul attains very subtle and fine body on contracting Sukshmanama Karma and thus it is not perceptible to any sense.
Soul attains gross body on contracting Badaranama Karma and thus it becomes perceptible to any sense.
Soul cannot attain adequate means for it on contracting Aparyaptanama Karma and with Parayaptanama Karma it can attain such means. These adequate means are six as described before.
Any soul does fully acquire food, body and senses but when it has to acquire more, then it has to depend upon paryapata or Aparyapta Karmas. So the souls have two classes-Paryapta and Aparyapta.
Indefinite number of souls possess uncommon body on contracting Sadharana nama Karma, and every soul has its own independant body on contracting Pratyekanama Karma.
All limbs like tongue, fingers, heads, feet etc. are movable on their location on contracting Asthinama Karma and the rest like teeth, bones etc. are immovable on contracting Sthiranama Karma.
When Ashubranama Karmas arise, body below navel is abominable i.e. one is annoyed to touch it and when Shubha rama Karmas arise body above the navel is pleasant as one is pleased to touch it.
Voice is harsh or unpleasant on the rise of Dusswaranama Karma, and it is sweet and pleasant on the rise of Suswaranama Karma.
Soul is loved by all on the rise of Subhaganama Karma and condemned by all on the rise of Durbhaganama Karma.
Soul can carry conviction in others on the rise of Anadeyanama Karma and cannot do so on the rise of Adeyanama Karma. A soul does not get credit or appreciation despite hard and sincere labour if Ayashahnama Karmas are contracted and it can acquire great credit and applause with little labour, if yashahnama Karmas are contracted. Here the word 'Yashah' means fame in any indefinite range of space.
With Shubhanama Karmas one gets all auspicious things and adverse is the result with Ashubhanama Karmas. Those souls which are not uniform in their thought, words or action and which indulge in hypocrisy contract Ashubhanama Karma and by contrary practice Shubhanama Karma is contracted.
