Due to the accommodative attribute of the soul, every living being has height, length and width. In the absence of any age determining karma the true pure modes of this accommodative attribute shine and the soul now has no dependency on any karma. Now this pure soul- Sidhdha's soul-can accommodate himself with other pure infinite souls within the same space units.
131. What is "Not too heavy - Not too light” non-affirmative attribute of the soul (Aguru
laghutva pratijivi guna)?
With status determining karma, (Gotra karma) the soul obtains status - high status and low status. In the soul, the absence of status determining karma makes high and low status invalid and the soul is neither too heavy nor too light.
