The questions and answers session was in progress. Gurudeo was answering questions of Shrawaks ( devotees). One question came--We never invite Karmas,then how they can come and fix to our soul just like an invited guest---------?, a devotee asked Gurudeo.
Gurudeo smiled " It is very good question but before knowing the answer-please try to note following basic six elements for better understanding. It explain the modus operandi of Karma doctrine.
1--Eight type of Karma Particles- ( Parmanu) exists in universe -
Oadarik. Vekriya. Aaharak. (used to builds body and shape) Tejas,
Language,breathing,mind and Karman. Known as"Karmanvargna. "
First three particles are attracted for body as per his Gati involved. Karman particles consists of eight Karmas being-explained in 3rd.
4 Ghati ( easier to clear ) and 4 Aghati Karmas (difficult to erase).
2--Five types of Kriya (action)----Kayiki (with body),Aadhikarni (with tools.organs,weapons and possessions).Pradweshiki (love and hate),Paritapaniki (giving trouble) and Pranatipatik (killing)
3-Eight types of Karma particles- knowledge,faith,Vedniya (sufferings),Mohaniya ( love and hate).Aayu ( life term or span)
Naam,Gotra (Shape caste like) and Antaray ( prohibitory).
4-Eight components of Soul--Dravya, Kashay. Yog, Upyog(use),
knowledge ,faith ,conduct and Virya ( human power).
5-Three types of Yog (tool for action)--Mind, speech and body. Yog does the job to attract and fix Karma to soul. Kashay and it's severity involved in catching it decides period and it's severity.
6-Four types of Kashay--anger ,ego, Maya (tactics) and greed.
The universe from bottom to top ( seventh hell to Siddhasheela) is full of above eight types of Karman particles. The same particles as of earth are also present in Siddasheela, They are not attracted by soul of Siddhabhagwan since they do not have Yog (tools for action & Kashay (negative components of soul).
Karmas have magnetic power-they are non living and visible (not to ordinary human). Soul is living and invisible. Karman particles do not get fixed automatically to soul but it a result of own action.
Our tiny action caused by transactions of mind, speech and body mixed with various levels of feeling attract them and got fixed to soul. Wrong faith Non-Pachhakahn .Pramad.Kashay and Ashubhyog associated with particular action decides the period of continuation of such particles with soul. However with Nirjara the period can be reduced except for Nikachit (fixed frequently) Karmas. We have to face Nikachit Karmas as built. No changes can be made into nature.Thus one may not invite Karmas orally but your smallest action is enough to attach them to soul. Soul carry it, till their clearance.
Now it is clear they are not invited guest but just invited by us knowingly or unknowingly. Just imagine following common actions of human being usually undertake knowingly or otherwise in practice
1-Laughing at disability of some one.
2-Scolding subordinates.
3-Becoming sad with memories of near ones.
4-Praising beauty of opposite gender.
5-Expressing joy for taste of food, quality of construction and similar situations. All emotions also attracts Karma particles. One can blame that reacting to such instances is normal human behavior but to try to control feelings is a way taught by Jainism. One must be neutral in all circumstances to the maximum human possibilities, Such control act as a barrier to incoming Karmas saving us from future trouble..
One may think it is ordinary reaction but mind well, you are inviting Karmas. Now you can not say Karmas are non invited guests" with it Gurudeo concluded answer. In a nutshell and moral story of it---
Be beware of your tiniest action if you want not to attract Karmas.
