________________
If the mind is filled with auspicious thoughts of friendliness and generosity the auspicious karmas are incurred. When the mind is flooded with kashayas or passions or wicked thoughts or involved in the sensuous pleasures the inauspicious karmas are incurred.
Truth, based on the scriptures leads to the influx of auspicious karmas; and the opposite of it leads to influx of inauspicious karmas.
Refraining from wicked acts and being involved in religious acts attracts auspicious karmas. Whereas killing living beings attracts the inauspicious karmas.
The main causes of the influx of inauspicious karmas are the four chief kashayas i. e. anger, vanity, deceitfulness, and greed.
सर्वेषामात्रवाणां तु निरोधः संवरः स्मतः। स पुनभिद्यते द्वधा द्रव्यभावविभेदतः ॥७९॥ यः कर्मपुद्गलादानच्छेदः स द्रव्यसंवरः । भवहेतुक्रियात्यागः स पुनर्भावसंवरः ॥८॥
Samvara
