COMMENTARY. It has already been laid down that Âtmå (or soul) is entirely distinct in its characteristics from Pudgala (or matter). The essence of Jiva or Atma is consciousness which is altogether absent from Pudgala or matter. Hence, as in the previous verse it has been laid down that a spiritual substance (Jiva) cannot be the cause of Pudgala-karmas (i.e., material karmas), so in this verse it is shown that Jivas from their very nature are unaffected by the fruits of Pudgalakarmas. Really speaking, Jîvas only enjoy eternal bliss which is their essential characteristic. Therefore, according to Nischaya Naya, a Jiva should only be regarded as an enjoyer of bliss resulting from its characteristic of consciousness. But through the generation of attachment, aversion, etc., Jivas attain such a condition that they become ready for the assimilation of matter. It is only in such states of Jiras that there is an influx of matter in them. When there is such an influx of matter, the Jivas have to enjoy sorrow and delight, happiness and misery, as these are the fruits of Pudgala-karmas.
