It is due to the association with karmas that a soul moves in all directions including downwards, transverse and upwards. But natural direction of movement of soul is upwards. In this aphorism six reasons for the upward movement of karma-infested soul have been discussed-(1) Nihsangata (non-association)-absence of any association with karmas like a clean gourd not plastered with clay. (2) Niraagata (detachment)-absence of attachment or fondness. (3) Gati parinaam(movement orientation)-As the flame of a lamp always moves upwards, so does a liberated soul (from bondage of karmas) tends to move upwards (Tattvarth Rajavartika 10/6). (4) Bandhachhed (destruction of bondage)-As the seeds of Erand fruit are thrown upwards when its pod breaks, likewise soul moves upwards when its bondage of karmas is shattered. (5) Nirindhanata (absence of fuel)-When fuel is consumed the smoke moves upwards in the same way free from of the fuel of karmas, the soul naturally moves upwards. (6)-Purva prayogata (prior endeavour)-An arrow launched from a bow rushes unobstructed towards the target, in the same way, karma-free soul moves with the force of prior endeavour. Another example of this is the continuing movement of a potter's wheel even after the hand stops moving it. The movement is due to the prior effort. In the same way a mundane soul moves towards liberation due to the prior efforts made during past numerous births even in absence of efforts at the present time.

[Q.] Bhante! Is a miserable jiva (karma infested soul) touched (bound or overwhelmed) by misery? Or a non-miserable jiva (karma-free soul) touched (bound or overwhelmed) by misery? [Ans.] Gautam ! Only a miserable jiva (karma infested soul) is touched (bound or overwhelmed) by misery and not a non-miserable jiva (karma-free soul). भगवती सूत्र (२) (338) Jain Education International Bhagavati Sutra (2) 5555555555555555555 For Private & Personal Use Only 0 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 95 卐 卐 卐 www.jainelibrary.org
