Pure Soul and its Infinite Treasure ** 267
in order to reach one's goal. Realisation of pure soul leads to unleashing of absolute vigour insurmountable by any object in the Universe and this Karma gets annihilated.
05 Feeling - Producing Karma: In life, one experiences both pleasures and pains. These alternatives vary frequently and arise due to hunger, thirst, injury, diseases, cold, heat, wind, friends, animals, clothes, wealth, etc. The same object may cause both the feelings. One may be happy over acquiring a lot of wealth but may become unhappy next moment as to how to preserve it. A soul can attain perpetual bliss and ecstasy only if these Karmas are destroyed.
06 Age-Determining Karma: This Karma causes lifespan (age) and obscurs entry into the permanent abode. All living things have life-span, although it varies widely across and within different species. Diseases, accidents, etc., are only peripheral factors and do not cause death. In the absence of this Karma, one achieves the permanent abode of liberation and does not have to take birth and die.
07 Name and Structure-Determining Karma: This Karma obscurs subtleties and causes different body names. A soul gets the body of an insect, a bird, an animal, a man, etc., with differences in dimensions, colour, smell, height, width, bones, senses, etc., due to the bondage of this Karma. In its absence, the soul does not have any association with any type of body, names and becomes extremely subtle.
08 Status-Determining Karma: This Karma obscures the unchangeable/unique status of the soul and causes low/ high status. Some have high-status in life, while others have low-status. This happens in all species as their status differ. In the absence of this Karma, the soul maintains its own absolute and everlasting status neither lower nor higher.
