Human beings have the discretion to choose between good and evil actions and are, therefore, responsible for their action. Depending on their actions, their karmic load either increases or decreases. Their karmic load can become larger than K,; consequently, they can transmigrate to the nigoda birth-species. On the other hand they can completely annihilate their karmic load reducing it to 0; consequently, they can be liberated. Their karmic load can vary from zero to value larger than K,. they can, therefore, transmigrate to all birth-species, including the celestial birth-species, as shown in Figure 4 and Table 4.
