JAINA CONVENTION 2017
SOUL WITH KARMONS/
KARMIC MATTER
PURE SOUL NO KARMIC MATTER
Once one believes in this, Noble Truth 1, then the other Truths 2, 3 and 4 can be built on it. Thus, Noble Truth 1 provides the building block, leading to reverence for all forms of life and the fundamental principle of ahimsa in Jain thinking. It is amazing how such a concept of karmons existed many centuries before the advent of the theory of particle physics. However, now with concepts of modern science it is easier to understand Jain thinking.
Truth 2: 'Living beings differ due to the varying density and types of karmic matter.' Truth 3: 'The karmic bondage leads the soul through the states of existences (cycles).' Truth 4A: 'Karmic fusion is due to perverted views, non-restraint, carelessness, passions and activities.' Truth 4B: 'Violence to oneself and others results in the formation of the heaviest new karmic matter, whereas helping others towards Moksha with positive non-violence results into the lightest new karmic matter.' Truth 4C: 'Austerity forms the karmic shield against new karmons as well as setting the decaying process in the old karmic matter.'
