nirvana and suffering__the agekarma
Who wants to live this life after achieving the Buddha hood, nirvana,
moksha,
salvation, liberation?
in jain shastras the karmas are described in detail and karma which even
siddhas can't destroy is the age karma; many of us have heard the swami had
told that he is going to live up to this day; swami sivananda radha said
that if you are able to enter the 6th chakra then you can know the time of
your death and leave the body within 21 days of entering this 6th chakra.
lord mahavira achieved perfection at the age of 42 years and died at the age
of 72;lord Buddha achieved perfection around same age and died of
dysentry,sri Ramakrishna died of throat cancer; even after they have
achieved nirvana still they weren't able the destroy the Age karma.
If everything is in one's hands then no one would like to live at least
after the nirvana, this is because of age karma which can't be destroyed and
a siddha has to spend the lifespan he has been given.
What actually had happened when they had reached the perfection, they are
able to destroy the age karma, and soul has reached the self luminous golden
form, a soothing yellow light, which glows around the crown?
After getting enlighten and moksha mahavira and Buddha both suffered from
humiliations and
keep on wandering to pass their lifetime. Age karma can be destroyed and
only
some perfect yogis know the techniques.
One would ask how many types of karmas exist. How do they bind the soul?
How
their fruits are realized, and how they wear away or get destroyed? All
of this is shown in detailed in the Jain Shastras. Karma can be divided
into
eight main classes. They have 148 sub-classes.
The main classes are:
(1) Jnanavarniya:
Knowledge obscuring karma; it is matter which obscures the soul's attribute
of
knowledge (5 subclasses).
(2) Darshanavarniya:
Conation obscuring karma; it is matter which obscures the soul's attribute
of
conation, perception (9 sub-classes).
(3) Vedniya:
Feeling karma; it is karma which mundane souls (embodied souls) come in
contact with agreeable or disagreeable objects, which in their turn cause
the
feelings of pleasure or pain in the soul, according to their various degrees
of attachment and aversion therein (2 sub-classes).
(4) Mohaniya:
Deluding karma; it is karma which obscures the attributes of right belief,
and
right conduct of the soul (28 sub-classes).
(5) Ayushya:
Age karma; this keeps one in bondage of four forms of existence i.e.
hellish,
sub-human, human, and celestial. It causes and determines the sojourn of a
soul into a particular body (4 sub-classes).
(6) Nama:
Body making karma; this gives the soul a distinguishing form of existence,
determines its classes. It causes condition of existence, formation of
different kinds of bodies, and the change from one to another condition of
existence (93 sub-classes).
(7) Gotra:
Family determining karma; this imparts a high or low status in life i.e. By
which a soul is to take birth in a high or a low family (2 sub-classes).
(8) Antaraya:
Obstructive karma; this creates hindrance in the ways of the soul's giving
of
gifts or achieving of things, in its abilities and in its use and enjoyment.
It obscures the infinite power of the soul (5 sub-classes).
Numbers 1, 2, 4 and 8 are called Ghatiya Karmas.
Numbers 3, 5, 6 and 7 are called Aghatiya Karmas.
Ghatiya karmas are called so because they destroy the manifestation of the
real and essential attributes of the soul. The manifestation of these
attributes in mundane souls varies inversely of the proportionate decrease
of
the forces of these four destructive karmas.
The Aghatiya karmas are called so because they do not obscure the real
attributes of the soul, but affect only the external environments of the
soul
and pertains to body.
