Soul Science : Samayasāra by Jain Ācārya Kundakunda
Kamme nokammamhi ya ahamidi ahakam ca kamma nokammam. Jā esā khalu buddhi appadibuddho havadi tāva. ||19|| कर्मणि नोकर्मणि चाहमित्यहकं च कर्म नोकर्म। यावदेषा खलु बुद्धिरप्रतिबुद्धो भवति तावत्।।19।।
So long as such an understanding persists regarding oneself that I am Karma, I am quasi-Karma (physical body and other material belongings), and the Kārmika and quasi-Kārmika matter constitute me, till then the living being is ignorant (Apratibuddha). [19]
Annotation
Karma are of two types: Dravya Karma and Bhāva Karma. The Kārmika dust associated with the soul is called Dravya Karma. The related emotions/thoughts (psychic dispositions) are called Bhāva Karma. The anger, lust, jealousy, deceit, etc., fall under Bhāva Karma.
Material belongings and the physical body are called NoKarma or quasi-Karma. Living beings, generally, have an understanding of identifying themselves with the emotions, thoughts, physical body, material belongings, etc. (Karma and quasi-Kārmika matter). This understanding or awareness constitutes perverse knowledge. If somebody considers oneself distinct from the physical body, but identifies oneself with emotions and thoughts, then also he is ignorant (spiritually ignorant). Earlier, Ācārya Kundakunda has clearly mentioned that from the real point of view the true understanding lies in identifying oneself with the eternal and changeless soul.
