110 RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY OF THE JAINAS qualities of the soul, it follows that upon the removal of them the soul's qualities become actual.
That quality of the soul, which appears when the class I. karma is removed, is unlimited knowledge (omniscience). When the vedaniya or class 3 karma is removed, then the quality of the soul which appears is permanent bliss; the vedaniya karma obscures the bliss quality of the soul. When the class 4 or mohaniya karma is worked out, then there is always right belief and right conduct, we always form right beliefs and always act rightly. This point follows in proper order after the details of the remaining classes of karma.
We must know how the karma is generated, how it is worked out before its time, how long it would stay with us, etc.
Karma is generated by reason of certain impellent forces within us, and these impellent forces need to be explained -- impellent forces on account of the presence of which we generate the karma.
