Besides the abovementioned arguments, too, many similar ones are also advanced, but they are all aimed at the same object of proving that the activities of service, kindness, compassion, co-operation, helping, etc., even are contrary to the spiritual nature, irreligious, and sinful and that they result in increase in worldly transmigration and are, therefore, only fit to be abandoned.
All the abovementioned beliefs give rise to hardness of attitude, heartlessness, brutality, and unfeeling pitilessness. They are inhuman and purely irreligious. In this book all these beliefs have been proved to be contrary to the canonical dictates, false, baseless and insubstantial on the basis of many proofs. Also, on the basis of proofs from the canonical texts and the doctrine of karma, it has been proved that the activities of service, kindness, compassion, co-operation, helping, etc., are positively non-violent, spiritually natural and result in separation of karmic bondages and not in karmic bondage.

Therefore, the destruction of the durational bondage itself has been termed as the karmic destruction or karmic separation. The potency of the bonded karma to result in given intensity of fruition is said to be its anubhāga. The intensity bondage is decided by the intensity of the passions with which the activity resulting the said karmic bondage was performed. Increase or decrease in the intensity of passions results in corresponding increase and decrease in the potency of the karmic bondage and intensity with which the karma would fructify. Therefore, it is plain that it is only the rise of passions that is responsible for deciding the quantity of karma matter that would be bonded and its intensity of fruition. No passionate activity or
