Doctrine of Karma

12. Past Karmas will catch you definitely in the future.
-- Sū. Ks. Sū 1.5.2.33
13. As long as there is no renunciation ( absolutely ) free from
( any ) expectation, the ascetic cannot attain purification of mind; how can he annihilate the karma, when he is of impure mind ?
— Pra. Sā. 3.20
14. Just as fire quickly destroys an old, dry and hollow log of
wood, so also an aspirant practising right conduct quickly destroys the accumulated karma.
- Ācā. Ni. 234
15. Bondage is not due to materials but it is due to attachment and aversion.
- Sa. Sā. 265
16. Auspicious karmas bring beneficial results and evil karmas bring in harmful results.
— Aupa. Sū. 71
17. Once the seed is burnt, it does not sprout (out ) again, so
also once the karmas are destroyed, the sprouting (of these karmic seeds ) in the from of birth and death will never take place.
- Daśāśru. Sū. 5.7.15
