120 Q. The realisation of space-movement karma is observed in skyflying birds etc. only and not in the humans or sub-humnas as they do not move in the space. A. This is not correct. All the living beings move in space only as it accommodates them all. 19. The physique-making karmic sub-species of individual body is defined as that whose realisation results in enjoying an individual body formed due to the karma of body by a single living being. This species refers to a single body for the single self.
20. The physique-making karmic sub-species of common or general body is defined as that whose realisation results in a body to be enjoyed and possessed by many living beings.
Q. What are the characteristics of the living beings who have the realisation of the karma of common body ?
A. The common-bodied beings have four common completions like food, body, senses and respiration. They have common birth, death and breathings. They have common obligations and self-destruction. Whenever, there is any of the above activities for one, they are occuring there with every one of the group. When one is born, infinite are born. When one dies, infinite ones die. Whenever, one inhales or exhales, the infinite ones have the same activities. If one takes food etc., the infinite ones also intake and enjoy it. If one is injured by fire or poison, all others are also injured or killed. 21. The physique-making karmic sub-species of mobiles is defined as that whose realisation results in the birth as mobile beings with two senses, three senses etc. (i.e. more than the first sense). 22. The physique-making karmic sub-species of non-mobiles is defined as that whose realisation results in the birth as one-sensed living beings with embodiments of earth, water, fire, air and plants. 23. The physique-making karmic sub-species of amiability is defined as that whose realisation results in one's beautiful or pleasing appearance of the body which is attractive to others. 24. The physique-making karmic sub-species of non-amiability is defined as that whose realisation causes the appearance of the body
