FIFTH LECTURE.
Subdivisions of Class 3.
There are two subdivisions of this karma, namely as follows:
1. Karma which in its working, causes feelings of pain.
2. Karma which in its working, causes feelings of pleasure.
It is necessary for a distinction to be made between feelings of pain or pleasure' and such feelings as pride, grief, anger, and others. Feelings of pair and pleasure do not necessarily hinder the progress of the soul; feelings of pride, anger, etc. do; but if you identify yourself with a pain or a pleasure you come to a stop, you do not continue in the right strain. The name of this 3rd class of karma is, Vedaniya karma.
