PARYAPTI THE KARMIC POWER OF THE SOUL
Five sense Living being without mInd have first five paryatis only except the
last mind
Five senses Living being with mind have all six Paryaptis listed above
All these Paryaptis are in effect to create the live body with all its
components for the first Muhurat or indian hour or a period of 48 minutes.
First three Paryaptis seek the material for taking food and convert into body,
and senses from the mothers womb, egg or air. The last three Paryaptis
seek the material to manufacture the mechaism of breathing, speech and
mind from the special molecules in the air. And to operate these mechanism
it takes the same matter from the air/space and after use discharges in the
air.
The first three paryaptis are completed by all the life forms. As these three
are necessary to be completed to determine the longevity or ayushya of
next life. A life form which take birth and dies some 20 times a minutes also
needs to complete this paryaptis.
7. [4] OPERATION:
All Paryaptis become functional simultaneously at the
samaya or moment the soul enters the body or womb, but
complete their tasks in an increasing more time, i.e. second
paryapti takes more time to complete than first paryapti but
takes less time than third paryapti and so on then the last one
but all complete their task in a time frame of one samaya less
then forty eight minutes.
The completion of each Paryapti is consecutive.
[5] VARIETY:
The souls or new life forms have their Paryaptis functinonal and
completed and achieve their death only after paryaptis are complete
are called paryaptas or Labdhi Paryaptas.
