THE JAINA PHILOSOPHY
matter that is associated with it The nalure of the kārmic matter is determined by the nature of the passions and perversion of the psyche and the intensities of passions etc are again determined by the nature of the hārnic matter
The kārmıc matter associated with consciousness determines not only the nature and intensities of passions but also the life-span, the type of gross body viz. audārka or vackriva, during the life-span etc The gross body is then the instrument of experiencing happiness and miseries of the worldly existence The material of other varganās viz , si asochchhuas, bhāsa, and manah are also essential for the worldly existence
Material karmian(dravya karman) and its spiritual counterpart (bhāva karman) viz., passions and perversities of the soul are thus mutually related as cause and effect, each of the other 91 Thus the assimilated karman begets sarira, (body), mind and speech and their activities- physical mental and vocal-attract karmic matter which then is inseparately mixed up with the soul Only the matter which is fit for the purpose of being transformed by the soul is attracted by it
The space is filled up by the karmic matter but only those particles which occupy the same space as the psyche can be caputred by it Passions generated by the interaction of the assimilated matter and the corrupted psyche are the cause of attracting the matter Thus corruption begets corrüpuon (Pure consciousness is free from passions and therefore does not attract corrupting matter)
