## Chapter 243 of the Jiva Kanda
This chapter discusses the existence of four bodies, as stated in the text. If we consider the two sutras from the Graga, then the existence of five bodies is established.
**Doubt:** Do the three yogas (karmas) occur simultaneously?
**Solution:** No, they do not occur simultaneously. If we assume that the three yogas of a single soul occur simultaneously, then the concept of yoga-nirodha (cessation of karma) would be contradicted.
**Doubt:** Are there instances where we see the simultaneous occurrence of mental, verbal, and physical actions?
**Solution:** If such instances are observed, then it would imply simultaneous activity. However, even in those cases, there is a distinct effort involved in the mind, speech, and body. Their simultaneous activity cannot be proven, as there is no such teaching in the scriptures.
**Doubt:** Why can't two or three yogas occur together?
**Solution:** They cannot occur together because their simultaneous occurrence is prohibited.
**Doubt:** Can we find instances of multiple yogas occurring simultaneously?
**Solution:** No, we cannot find such instances. The perception of the pulsation of the jiva-pradesha (soul-regions) beyond the senses is contradictory to the knowledge obtained through the senses. There is no fixed rule regarding the contraction and expansion of the jiva-pradesha during the movement of the soul. When a soul, in its initial state of liberation, moves from the middle world (Madhyaloka) to the front part of the universe (Lokagra), there is no contraction or expansion of its jiva-pradesha.
Therefore, it is established that only one yoga can occur at a time. A single soul cannot have two or three yogas occurring simultaneously.
Due to its inherent upward movement, a pure soul travels from the middle world to the tanu-avat-valaya (the outermost boundary of the universe), but due to the absence of karma-udaya (fruition of karma), there is no yoga, meaning no pulsation of the soul-regions.
Those who are devoid of yoga, like warriors, are like those who have attained the state of liberation, full of joy and happiness. They are free from the cycle of birth and death, and they are not bound by the karmic forces.
**Verse 243:**
"Those who are devoid of yoga, like warriors, are like those who have attained the state of liberation, full of joy and happiness. They are free from the cycle of birth and death, and they are not bound by the karmic forces."
