Why Does Omniscient Tirthankara Moves About On A Golden Lotus? 219
sparrow, mynas, cuckoos and such birds, fish and other acquatic animals) and gods, hellish beings and sañjñi human beings can do activities of mind. The one sensed, i.e. earth-bodied, water-bodied, fire-bodied, wind-bodied and plant; the two-sensed, the three-sensed, the four-sensed and asañjni beasts, birds etc and sammürcchima human beings do not have material mind and therefore, auspicious and inauspicious karma particles do not bind them through mind activities and therefore their bio-electromagnetic energy does not increase or decrease for such cause. But since they have a body which is bound by auspicious and inauspicious karma particles, their bio-electromagnetic energy increases or decreases through body-activities. Because living beings bound by karma particles, this element is never reduced to zero.
Similarly, to whatever state, a samsari soul may belong to primitive stage, his spiritual energy is never reduced to zero. Even in the souls of the most primitive state (nigōda), auspicious variety of nama-karma, vēdaniya-karma, ayuṣya-karma and gōtra-karma and especially of namakarma and vēdaniya-karma, is never reduced to zero. Contrarily, no amount of inauspicious variety of these four kinds of karma particles accumulated together can fully cover the infinite energy of the soul. Similarly, no amount of the four kinds of ghati-karma namely jñānāvaraṇiya, darśanavaraṇiya, mōhaniya and antarāya karma particles accumulated together can fully cover the infinite energy of the soul.
The sign of variable is used in the equations given above, in order to show that in the whole of the living world, the bio-electromagnetic energy even in the most primitive state of the soul, is never reduced to zero.
According to the rule of mathematics, when the sign (=) (equal to) is used in the above equations, "k" (a constant number) is placed. We can call this constant number, a universal co-efficient. Of course, this constant number is unknown to nescient beings like us. Only the omniscient great men can show its precise value. We can now only imagine it as a constant number.
The omniscient Tirthankaras have the following types of characteristics:
1. They have the highest physical powers because they have the superior type of bone-construction namely, Vajraṛṣabhanārāca, which is ca
