## Muktatvamimansa: The Interplay of Dravyakarma and Bhavakarma
(641) There is a mutual cause-and-effect relationship between Bhavakarma and Dravyakarma. The generation of Dravyakarma, such as Jnanavaraniya, arises due to Bhavakarma, like Raga, etc. Conversely, the generation of Bhavakarma, like Raga, etc., arises due to Dravyakarma. Thus, a vicious circle of Dravyakarma and Bhavakarma continues, perpetuating the cycle of karma. This vicious circle can be broken by stopping Bhavakarma, like Raga, etc., which is like applying brakes to a motor. This is within the control of the soul. Once this vicious cycle is broken, the cycle of karma stops, and consequently, the cycle of birth and death also stops. This intricate relationship is elaborated in various scriptures like Shri Samyatsar, Pravachansar, etc., which should be deeply contemplated by the seeker.

If someone asks for proof of this Bhavavyaadhi, which is the main cause of suffering and is generated by the endless cycle of karma, the simple and accurate answer is that it is experienced by all beings. This is a strong and direct proof based on experience. All beings, including Tiryanchas, experience this Bhavavyaadhi in various ways. They suffer the great pain of birth, aging, death, disease, sorrow, and fear. This Bhavavyaadhi, which causes birth and death, is not a mere imagination but a reality experienced by all. It is a proven fact, and there is no need for further proof.
