Yes. In Jainism, karma is real atomic subtle matter that attaches to the soul (jiva) as a result of intentional actions and inner passions. When a person acts with desires, anger, pride, deceit, or attachment, karmic particles (punya/pesha) cling to the soul and influence its future experiences, including birth, life circumstances, and age.

Key points:

• The soul is innately pure, but karmas veil its true nature.
• Karma binds through asrava (uptake) and bandhan (sticking to the soul) due to mental states and actions.
• Liberation (moksha) is achieved by stopping the inflow of new karmas and shedding the accumulated ones through right conduct, right knowledge, and right faith (the Jain path of the Three Jewels and disciplined practice).

Note: In Jain tradition, both Digambara and Śvetāmbara schools agree that karmas bind the soul, though they categorize and describe karmic nuances slightly differently.
