PHILOSOPHY OF SOUL
would dawn upon us. Consumption and pacification of these knowledge obscuring-Karmas are also incessantly being revealed which make sensory knowledge, scriptural knowledge, sensory ignorance and scriptural ignorance possible. Persons possessed of limited direct knowledge and direct knowledge of mind have their Karmas undergoing consumption and pacification.
At all times, feeling-producing-Karmas are also being revealed as the Soul constantly experiences feelings of pleasure and pain.
At all times, bliss-obscuring Karmas are also being revealed as our Soul has not attained passionless state. These Karmas even undergo consumption and pacification as our passions very often are aggravated and very often abated. The soul is polluted with attachment, jealousy, wrath, pride, deceit and avarice due to aforesaid manifestation of bliss-obscuring Karmas. Throughout the corporal existence the age-determining-Karmas are also manifested as one of the modes of existences as God, human being, animal or a hellish-being is under revelation.
Personality-determining-Karmas also continue in operation as we all are possessed of body, nature, complexion, odour, taste, touch, voice etc. Status-determining Karmas are always under operation as we anyway belong to either low or high-status-family.
Lastly power-hindering Karmas are all the while being revealed as our Soul does not manifest infinite alms-dispensing, infinitereceiving, and infinite will-power, which it intrinsically possesses. Whatever alms-dispensing, receiving, enjoyment or will-power, we experience are due to annihilation and pacification of powerhindering Karmas.
Thus all the eight forms of Karmas are perpetually under manifestation.
PERIOD OF DORMANT KARMAS
The period till the karmas do not begin to manifest for bearing fruits is called “The period of dormant Karmas” (Abadaha Kala). This period means the period during which the karmas do not oppress the soul. If you have contracted the hellish-existence, you might have no oppression for the present but you would suffer only when the respective Karmas are being manifested.
