Soul Science : Samayasara by Jain Acarya Kundakunda
It is easy to see that a SamyagDrşti of former type has no desire for food, sensual comforts, etc., even as a person. In such state Kārmika bonding responsible for the objects of sensual pleasure (as well as pain) does not take place. Such a person in the advanced state of sainthood is free from experiencing any worldly inconvenience even when the circumstances of worldly comforts may not exist. In case of a SamyagDrști of later type, though Kārmika bonding in response to the actions of mind and body is negligible (see stanza 172), yet only an enlightened person (SamyagDịști), not an un-enlightened person (MithyāDrști), gets Kārmika bonding which provides high positions such as Tīrthamkara, Baladeva, etc. Such high positions appear to contain worldly comforts but an enlightened person remains unattached with the worldly
gains and comforts associated with such high positions. (iii) A Jñānī who neither needs sensual pleasures nor serves
Kārmika matter by mind, physical body or words is the one who neither eats nor keeps any possession. He is a great saint engaged in meditation. These stanzas convey this fact that the Kārmika laws are such that he is not disturbed by the availability of physical comforts through Indra or any
god (Deva) at the time of penance. (iv)An enlightened person as a soul neither becomes doer of
Kārmika matter nor becomes recipient of any Kārmika
