CHAPTER II
कर्मण उदयं जीवमपरे कर्मानुभागमिच्छन्ति ।
तीव्रत्वमन्दत्वगुणाभ्यां यः स भवति जीवः ॥ ४१ ॥
41. Some consider the manifestation of karma ( resulting in pleasure or pain) to be the Self; some others believe that what determines the intensity or mildness of the edonic state (which is the fruit of karma) is the Self.
जीव कम्मं उह दोण्णिवि खलु केवि जीवमिच्छति । अवरे संजोगेण दु कम्माणं जीवमिच्छति ॥४२॥

ते न तु परात्मवादिनः निश्वयवादिभिः निर्दिष्टाः ॥ ४३ ॥

43. Thus in many ways perverse-minded people identify the Self with the non-Self ; therefore, by believers in reality, they are declared to be not parātmavādins (those who do not believe in the identity of jiva and paramātmā).
COMMENTARY
Discussing the nature of ajiva-padartha or the non-living substance the author introduces first that type of ajiva-padartha or non-living substance which is intimately associated with jiva or soul. This type of non-living substance which is associated with life is of two kinds, Karmic matter and matter called nonKarma which constitutes the various types of body associated with jiva other than the Karmic body. Karmic matter constitutes the Karmic body and is inseparable from the soul throughout its samsaric pilgrimage from one birth to another, till the soul
