________________
Effort (Purushärtha) over Destiny (Karma)
1. Udaya (Operation) - In this state karma produce their good or bad effects on the soul and then get
separated from the soul. -One should observe complete equanimity (Samatä) during Udava state. This will
ke the existing Karma shed their attachment with the soul without further
acquisition of new Karma. 2. Sattä (Stay) - This is the idle state of Karma. In future these Karma will produce their effect on
the soul. One can change the Duration, Intensity, Nature (Prakriti), and quantity
of the Karma during their Sattä state. 3. Udiranä (Premature operation) -During this process the Sattä karma are brought into operation or fruition (Udaya)
by deliberate efforts like penance. In this process, the Karma that could have borne fruits later can be ripened earlier to give results in advance like ripening of fruits by artificial means. It may not apply to all cases and types of Karma bondage.
