not mean that one should not make an effort to change a given situation. Making effort is also Karma and if that Karma happens to give instant results, the situation may change. One should avoid the sense of pride and arrogance in favourable circumstances and stop blaming anything or anybody else for unfavourable circumstances. In short, one should have the right perception so as to avoid indulging in Kashayas in all circumstances. Staying free of Kashayas is Samvar and it helps to prevent the inflow of new Karmas.
The method that stops fresh karma from attaching into the soul is called Samvar. This process is a reverse process of Ashrava. It can be accomplished by
constant practice of:
Right belief
Observance of vows
Awareness
Passionlessness
Peacefulness of vibratory activities.
