 Various types of karma are classified according to their effects on the potency of the soul.The Jain theory seeks to explain the karmic process by specifying the various causes of karmic influx ("āsrava") and bondage ("bandha"), placing equal emphasis on deeds themselves, and the intentions behind those deeds.The Jain karmic theory attaches great responsibility to individual actions, and eliminates any reliance on some supposed existence of divine grace or retribution.
