This body is an inanimate conglomeration of chemical substances of all kinds, and its animate faculty is only due to the presence of the conscious Soul within it.
The total effect which we feel is the final resultant of all combined and separate effects of all the internal molecular structure acting and reacting, and changing all the time within the body.
So precisely speaking in the closest scientific, or the exclusive religious terminology of the Jain philosophy, that any visible, or invisible, or perceptible, or imperceptible effect, or change, in the body, its movements, and the functions of the various organs and cells, are only due to changes in the internal structure, or setting, of the karmic molecules, or all general molecules constituting the whole body.
Through various means this body is absorbing, and throwing out Pudgala in varied shapes and formations, incessantly; by inhalation and exhalation, eating and excretion, drinking, urinating, sweat, respiration, etc.
