a father, a brother, or a wife, of whom an individual is very fond, becomes an eye-sore to him for some time and becomes an object of love again. A son who has been brought up with extreme fondness by his parents kills them. A millionaire becomes a pauper, and again a millionaire, a pauper becomes a millionaire, and again a pauper.
There must be some unforeseen agency to account for such strangeness in this world.
क्ष्मामृद्रङ्ककयोर्मनीषिजडयोः सद्रूपनीरूपयोः सौभाग्यासुभगत्वसङ्गमजुषोनीरोगरोगार्तयोः । श्रीमदर्गतयोर्बलाबलवतोस्तुल्येऽपि नृत्वेऽन्तरं यत्तत्कर्मनिबन्धनं तदपि नो जीवं विना युक्तिमत् ॥
“ Though there is similarity of becoming a human being, between a king and a pauper, a wise man and a dunce, a beautiful man and a deformed person, a fortunate individual and a miserable man, a healthy person and one greatly diseased, a wealthy man and a penniless one, and between a powerful person and a delicate individual, there is a distinction of bondage of Karmas; and that even is not justifiable without Living principle ( a )."
Karma, in its philosophical sence, is work, motion, vibration, action or 'action-currents' as our great Indian scientist Dr, Jagdish Chandra Bose puts it. In Jain Philosophy, the word is used with a double signification viz. it is used not only for vibration or action-ourrents, but also for their materialised effects, even during the next life or a series of furture existences, modifying his subsequent career.
The soul has four great qualities viz. 1. Perfect perception and faith in the reality of things ( 24 de zid ), 2. Perfect Knowledge ( 24 drastit ), 3. Perfect power ( Braal ) and 4. Perfect Happiness ( 24dod yu ). Karmio matter keeps the soul from the realization of this four fold greatness, obscuring its perception and knowledge, obstructing its progress onwards and disturbing its happiness.
The main divisions of the nature of Karmas are eight:-1, Jnânävaraniya (filall4794) Knowledge obscuring, 2. Darshanãvaraņiya (Eufm9RONU) conation-obscuring, 3. Vedaniya ( 14 ) Feeling Karma, 4. Mohaniya (AI614) Deluding, 5. Ayu ( 241 ) Age, 6. Nãma ( 117 ) Body-making, 7. Gotra (1) Family-determining and 8. Antarãya ( zortzL4 ) Obstructive.
