Gains, Lábha Commands . It is only the last two which are differing in the above lists. The cause of this difference might be the object of worldly or other-worldly prosperity. 12. The infinite-bonding passions are obstructors of right faith. Their realisation does neither cause it to be produced nor it allows the existing one to be manifest. There is no partial or total restraint due to the realisation of the passion of partial vow-preventing type. There can even be no observance of vows already undertaken. The total vowpreventing passion has restraint-cum-non-restraint but no supreme restraint. The gleaming passion does not cause the undertaking of true conduct. 13. Tattvārtha Bhāşya has explained illustratively the four types of each of the four classes of passions. This indicates that passions like anger etc. have a variety of intensities ranging between weak to strong in various degrees. 14. The deluding karma has all the passions whose realisation causes dis-functioning in human behaviour leading to tension, disease, intranquility and disturbed mental states. These passions have not only karmic origin but also have stimulated physical, physiological and psychological origin. They represent mental states and motor manifestation. The disfunctioning due to them must be contained by the opposing type of emotions as mentioned in Tattvārtha Bhāşya as below :
Passion Anger Pride
Opposing emotion Forgiveness Humility/modesty
Process subsidence Directional change
