may kill the jivas and one may not kill them; but by the mere thought of killing them, there is bondage of karma. This according to the transcodental point of view, is the sum of substance of karmic bondage of the Jivas. Karma Forces ;
in Jainism Karmas' forces have been divided into eight basic groups which are further divided into one hundred and forty eight sub classes called secondary divi. sions. The karmas' forces may be re-grouped under the psychical, the physiological and environmental classes. The physiquemaking and power obstructing karma also cause physical change in the soul and suggests that no karma can be held purely determining the physical, bodily or environmental conditions of Jiva.
It is held thai ritual performed here generates in the soul of the performer an unperceived potency (power of generating the fruit of the action) called apurva which remains in the soul and bears fruit when circumstances are favourable. In the present context karma generally means the principle wnich somehow determines the forms of existence of the soul. Ignorance may be the sole cause of the soul's bondage. Ignorance is of effective by way of Sanskaras or impression which are retained by the self for determining future behaviour. Somewhere the jivas are subject to karmas and somewhere karmas are subject to jivas; as somewhere the money lender is powerful and some-where the debtor is powerful, Whereever the jiva gets associated with whatsoever psychical stares, he binds accordingly the auspicious and inauspicious karma at that time. Every type of karmas have its bearing mainly on soul, they may be said to belong to the psychical class. If one the physiology of the organism, they may be said to belong to physiological class. If the bearing is mainly on the environment, that may be termed as environmental type. The physique making karma is said to effect the condition (gati) of existence, the structure of the jivas material body and the transference to otherconditions of existence.
