The mere presence of light from the sun or the moon is enough to create the fiery sunset or sunrise or the rainbow or halo. The sunlight is not directly interfering with matter in producing changes. The changes are the necessary concomitants of the presence of light. Similarly the presence of emotional states of desire or aversion in Jiva has as its concomitant, the changes in karmic matter. eftat qmastar goof)vo11-18-1gor-afgaar | arà fagorn gegrei féfa jifa 1193|| Jivas and karmic molecules are bound together firmly but when the time for their separation comes they fall apart. Karmas offer their results of pleasure and pain and the Jivas enjoy them. तम्हा कम्मं करता भावेण हि संबुदोऽध जीवस्स । भोत्ता दु हवदि जीवो बेदग भावेण कम्मफलं ॥७४॥ | According to Nishchaya Naya or real aspect karmic matter is the cause of its own changes. But from Vyavahara Naya or relative aspect it is, in association with psychic states of Audayika, etc., also the cause of mental changes in Jiva. Lo, from this point Jiva becomes the enjoyer because it is by nature consciousness.
