Haan. Jain dharm ke anusar, purva janm ke karm (pūrvā karma) ka phal iss janm me mil sakta hai. Is janm me jo anubhav (sukh, dukh, paristithiyan, rogi-swasthya, parivartan) milte hain, woh purva karmo ke phal hote hain. Saath hi, aaj ke karm (vartamān karma) bhi naye phal banaate hain jo bhavishya janmo me prabhav daalte hain. Isliye present life ke anubhav dono—purva karmon ke phal aur vartamān karmon ke nate—milake banate hain.

Digambar aur Shwetambar dono mein yahi drishtikon spasht hai ki atma ko bhinn-bhinn karmon se bandhan hota hai, jisse aage ke janmo ke liye phal milte hain. Dono sampradayon mein yeh bhi maana jaata hai ki mukti ke liye apne karmon ko shuddh karna avashyak hai.

Yeh samajhna aasan ho ki:

• Purva janm ke karmon ka phal abhi ke janm me shuru hota hai, parantu adhikance phal vartamān karmon ke karta-khata par bhi nirbhar karta hai.
• Aage ke janmo ke liye punya/apunya banane ki kshamata aapke aaj ke vyavahar, tapsya, and virakti par nirbhar karti hai.
