Now this volition is a function of our inner intelligence, of our faculty of discrimination between right and wrong, good and bad, between what we ought and what we ought not to do. This intelligence, discrimination, or consciousness is the Soul.
Mr. Uttamchand's doubt 1. It is Soul's nature to do Karmas, otherwise why it did the first Karma ? So it began doing the Karma, has continued to do so and shall go on for ever.
This is quite true of the soul embodied in the Karmic matter. This Karmic matter becomes the cause of vibrations in our body, speech and mind. This vibration awakens a sympathetic movement in similarly-tuned matter round us, attracts it to flow into ush and reinforce the matter with which the soul is already bound. Thus the weaving of the worldly wonder of Karma goes on and the deluded vibrating soul is enmeshed in the net
