Jubilation, CD suggesting specific behaviours for specific stimulations. This has been verified in medium range of stimulants lending some credibility to psychological studies. These stimulations could be equated with the karma-influx and one could see there a good chance of exploring the compatibility of karma theory in current context. The psychologists, however, do not like to discuss or analyse it even in historical perspective. Most of the human actions could be satisfactorily explained on this basis.
The physiologists tell us that our actions and emotions depend on glandular secretions of hormones and other compounds responsible for proper functioning of the human system. It is said to be normally an autonomous system responding even to emergency needs. The diversion from normal functioning may be due to genetic origin, internal and external environmental changes and due to foods, motivations and stimulating agencies. Table 6 gives some details about various glands and effects of their secretions. It would seem that these are very important and Mahāprajña has called them also the fruition product of the karma particles in contradiction with an earlier equation. If secretions are taken to be fruition products, it will mean that karma vargaņās must be taken as visible molecules like those of food and water. This goes against the 4-touch nature of them. Of course, it will equate karma with all kinds of ingestions in the body and the resulting discussions will not be different from those of the psychologists. This inference needs revaluation of the statement.
