infib,
Thanks for the reply.
Kamma beeja last 91 maha kalpa before fizzling out. That’s 91 x an aeon (the life of the Earth or the Solar system (roughly about 10 billion years))!
Yes. that is quite correct. Although my question is on the different life-times and the nature of Asava’s existence.
Gathi I believe is a synonym for Kamma. Kamma Beeja is created when a Kamma Patha, in other words, all 5 actions that complete the Kamma, has been fulfilled.
Asava/Gathi are different facets of the Kamma that is subject is to Vaya (or decay). There are 9 types of Kamma I believe. They must all disintegrate and end.
Then why is Kamma-Kakya (Removal of Kamma forcefully) needed in some instances such as forgiving past deeds?
