but the creature enjoying the fruits of such prematured fruits would feel himself very much obliged of his destiny. He would only interprete that any way he is clearing his debts in his better times. In the life-time when one has come across the passionless God, preceptor with worldly knots untied and religion established by the omniscient Lords then one would prefer to enjoy the state of consumed Karmas. What would he reap when there would arise no opportunity to listen to the preaching of the Omniscient Lord!
PHILOSOPHY OF SOUL
Souls leading existences in all the four states reap the rewards of Karmas in their due sequence, but on attaining human existence, understanding of righteousness, and ability to act accordingly, the man can fulfill the mission of his life if he endeavours to consume Karmas by bringing them to the earlier state of maturity. Great men thus pre-season their Karmas and unruffle the road of salvation thereby.
That means is named 'Upashamana' by which the Karmas remain dormant-undisturbed on account of the reflections of the Soul and mental resolves. Burning charcoals are cooled down when ash is spread over. During this state Karmas can be mitigated.
Karmas which have entered the order of seasoning are not effected by any 'Karana', but they affect the rest. Just as all the different parts of a machine operate simultaneously, all the Karanas also operate simultaneously. Every moment the soul assimilates into itself Karmas and thus 'Bandhanakarana' is operating. Loosely contracted Karmas become rigid and the rigid ones become more rigid. Thus 'Nidhatta Karana' and 'Nikachana Karana' also operate. During this period some of the Karmas suffer augmentation or abatement and then 'Udvartana' or 'Apavartana' Karanas are said to operate. Species of the same nature are being mitigated under the operative force of "Samkramana" Karana. Some of the Karanas find pre-seasoning period and some of them remain tranquil under the influence of 'Udiranakarana' 'Upashamanakarana'.
Till the Soul has not attained completely the state of passionlessness, good and evil activities in the Soul go on. The path of progress lies in chopping the evil activities and accelerating sacred activities. But our plight is miserable. We term profit as loss
