________________ In the very beginning, we devoted our consideration to the subject of atoms and their stocks of sixteen categories packed densely in every space of the universe. In that connection it was explained that any stock of the sixteenth group contained infinite particles. Hence, the determination of number of particles sticking to the soul is very easy. One can readily say that the particles clinging to the soul in any stock is infinite. We now finish consideration of all the four aspects that distinguish the particles of Karma fusing with the soul. Let us consider the fourfold nature of Karma on the analogy of a ball of ginger. What is the nature of a ball of ginger? How long would it last? What is its strength or taste? What is its weight? The answers to the above four questions are as under. The nature of the ball of ginger is to remove gas. It will remain good for a fortnight or a month, its taste is pungent, its weight is 100 to 150 gms. We have explained the matter of Karma in its four aspects on the analogy of the ball of ginger. 61
