________________ [ 62 ] 111. The Soul, in reality is never the Doer of Karmas, Never being the Cause of these The Soul can never be their Doer. 112. The modification arises by the auxiliary of the un.enlightened souls thought activities. It is only in the practical way that the soul is said to be the Doer of Karmas. 113. - Battles fought by warriors are often said to be thought by the King i.e, "The King defeated his enemies." Similarly the application may be made in the practical statement that Karmas are caused by the Soul. 114. From the practical only can it be said that the Soul causes, changes, or binds Karmic matter. 115 The Acharya again stresses the frot that only from the practical view point can the Soul be said to produce the modifications of Karmic matter good or evil, 116. Wrong belief, vowlessness, passions, and souls vibratory activity, are the causes of Karmic Bondage, 117. Thirteen divisions, or stages from delusion to the cessation of all soul vibration are fully dealt with in Mr. J. L. Jaina's obstruse translation of "Samagasara." 118. From the Real Standpoint these stages are non soul, The Soul is never the enjoyer of them, from the view point of Reality. 119. These spiritual stages are the means of binding Karmas and liberating the soul. The soul therefore is not the liberator of Karmas. Liberation is caused by the putting into practice, through the spiritual stages, of Right Belief, Right Knowledge, and Right Conduct. Thus Karmas are shed. 120. Soul counsciousness is Pure. Anger etc' have no part in the Soul
