https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma#In_Jainism In Jainism, karma is referred to as *karmic dirt*, as it consists of *very subtle particles of matter *that pervade the entire universe. Karmas are attracted to the karmic field of a soul due to vibrations created by activities of mind, speech, and body as well as various mental dispositions. Hence the *karmas are the subtle matter surrounding the consciousness* of a soul. When these two components (consciousness and karma) interact, we experience the life we know at present. @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
