Owing
to rise of
Nama-Karma (physique-making Karma) body is produced. It is somewhat instrumental cause of happiness and misery similar to
Dravya-Karma. Therefore, the body is called
Nokarma. Here the word 'No' is to be known as denoting lesser measure. The body is a mass of matter-particles (atoms) and
Dravya Indriyas (sense organs),
Dravya-Mana (material mind), respiration and vocal organs all these are also the parts of body; therefore, these also are to be known as mass of matter-particles (atoms).
In this way,
Jiva with
Dravya-Karma and body is found bonded occupying same spacepoints
(Eka-Kshetraavagaha* form of bondage). The relation of body remains with Jiva from the moment of birth till the duration of
Ayu (life)
Karma; and at the end of (the period of)
Ayu-karma, death takes place, then the relation with that body comes to an end; body and soul get separated and either in the same very moment or in second, third, fourth moment (Samaya),
Jiva acquires new body owing to the
Nimitta of rise of karmas; there also similar relation continues upto the end of one's
Ayu (life
Karma) and again death occurs, then relation ends with that body. Like this, leaving of former body and acquiring new body continues successively.
Further, this soul, although possesses innumerable space-points
(Pradeshas) but by virtue of the quality of contraction and expansion it remains equal to the extent of the size of the body occupied; however, the specific point is this that at the time of
Samudghat (emanation of soul's space-points) the
Pradeshas of soul emanate even outside the body and thereafter (on end of emanation period) remain equal in size of the last body left (before emanation).
Further, the functioning of knowing activity takes place to this
Jiva through the instrumentality of
Dravya-Indriya and
Mana which are the parts (organs) of the body. And according to the condition of the body,
Jiva experiences happiness and sorrow owing to the rise of
Mohakarma. And sometimes body functions as per the will of
Jiva, sometimes Jiva acts as per the condition of the body; sometimes
Jiva acts in a different way according to its will and body (mass of matter-particles) functions in a different way.
Thus, the tendency
of Nokarma is to be understood.
