Centrifugal forces of non-attachment >> Centripetal forces of passions (d) Volitional Purity, Destinities and Karmic Density There are four destinities, Dy-infernal, sub-human, human and celestial for the living beings in order of decreasing karmic density, Dk and increasing volitional purity VP. This means that the volitional purity of the living beings is inversely proportional to karmic density, Dk and destinity. The Jaina system encourages the living beings to mutate their quality of purity to higher and higher levels through the process of reducing karmic density. Thus, combining the earlier. formulae, we have,
Volitional purity, VP & 1/DK Higher Destinity, Dy a 1/Dk
Inner Purity a 1/Dy a 1/Dk α H
Thus, the inner purity is directly proportional to happiness.
(e) Happiness and Karmic Density Karmic Density In order to attain the highest state of happiness, one must have Dk tending to zero, so that H becomes infinity. Thus if H is defined as
H = D/Di
or,
or,
where D is desires or passions fulfilled
Di is the total number of desires which is normally infinite
Dk is karmic density.
1/Dk
The religion has an objective to have H= infinity. The common. man can only imagine the realisability of such a condition. Hence, he feels his mission of worldly life is to try to attain such a condition. This is easily surmisable that it is easier to reduce the number of desires to the minimum or zero to attain H infinity, as the fulfillment of desires is virually limited and constant. This is what the Jaina religion postulates limitation of desires results in happiness. The reduction in desires/passions could be effected by many voluntary controls and cultivation of good number of virtues checking the karmic influx and reducing Dk. Similarly, lower the karmic density, higher will be the H. As passions, P are proportional to D. P can be substituted for D in the above equation.

(f) Satisfaction/Contenment and Happiness or Karmic Density - Like happiness contentment, C is also a desirable quality in worldly life. Both of these qualities are directly related with each other. The economists define C as below:
C = Acquirement of desired objects S
