We get mad and indulge in rage towards those, whom we perceive as responsible for the loss. If the favorable situation stays longer, we may become arrogant about it. We may crave for its continuation and may also resort to deception for that purpose, These anger, arrogance, deception and craving are termed as Kashays.

One needs to exercise those faculties for self-realization. By virtue of the ignorance and delusion, however, we tend to operate those faculties for the worldly gains.

That is termed as Yog. सकाषायत्वाज्जीवः कर्मणो योग्यान् पुद्गलानादत्ते // 8-2 // स बन्धः // 8-3 // 8.2: Sakashayatvajjeevah Karmano Yogyanpudgala * 1 911 nadatte 8.3: Sa Bandhah (The soul assimilates the lifeless particles suitable for Karma by indulging in defilement and that constitutes the bondage.)
