Karma is defined as ‘action present in the matter, devoid of any quality ([[guna]])’. It is regarded as an independent cause of conjunction and disjunction of things. [Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]] 1/52] All actions and movements (karma) are limited to corporeal substances (murta dravya) such as earth, water, light, air and mind ([[panchamahabhuta]] except ether or [[akasha]]); and there is no action on pervading substances like directions (disha), time ([[kala]]) and soul ([[atma]]).
