________________ Soul Science: Samayasara by Jain Acarya Kundakunda all worldly happiness or unhappiness or spiritual growth of any living being that living being is responsible. It is futile to have the deluded conviction of recognizing oneself as the owner or doer of the happiness or unhappiness or the spiritual growth of others. 144 When one is capable of realizing the existence of soul and Kārmika laws then in every event he sees the independence of every soul as mentioned earlier. He sees that in every interaction between two persons, 'A' and 'B', 'A' gets new Karmika bonding as per Adhyavasana of 'A' and gets fruits (happiness or unhappiness) as per rise of his own Karma; and similarly, at every instant, 'B'gets new Karmika bonding as per Adhyavasana of 'B' and gets fruits (happiness or unhappiness) as per rise of his own Karma. From the real point of view, it is very easy to understand this point that soul 'A' cannot control soul 'B'. In this regard, the annotation of stanza 100 written in this work may also be helpful. Further, an understanding from the relative point of view may also be helpful. One should keep in mind that every person has limitations. Nobody is omnipotent, therefore, even from the relative point of view, nobody can claim with 100% certainty that he can provide happiness or unhappiness to others. To clarify these stanzas further we shall now illustrate some points by raising and answering a few questions: Question: If one cannot provide happiness or unhappiness to others then would it be appropriate to ignore the importance of the role of a god-father in one's life? Answer: From the relative point of view, we see the effect of the actions of a god-father. (Stanza 98 describes the effect of actions of a person from the relative point of view.) The placement of a right person at right place is not an easy task. One who is helped in acquiring the right chair or help by the kindness of someone usually feels thankful to him. Any helper
