## First Karma Granth
**KUT** is sin. Therefore, **saataavedaniya** karma is bound by actions that bring happiness to oneself and others, while **asaataavedaniya** karma is bound by actions that cause suffering. This is the perspective from which the binding of **saataavedaniya** and **asaataavedaniya** karma is explained in the gatha.
**Guru-bhakti**, **kshamasheelata**, **dayaluata**, **vrata-yukta**, **sanyam**, **sadhana**, **kashay-vijay**, **dan-bhavana**, and **dharmic shraddha** are the causes of the binding of **saataavedaniya** karma. Similarly, the word **aady** in the gatha refers to serving the elderly, children, and the sick, helping the righteous in their religious duties, having feelings of friendship and joy, and engaging in activities that benefit the world.
The meanings of the words in the gatha are as follows:
(1) **Guru-bhakti** is serving, respecting, and honoring one's gurus (parents, religious teachers, educators, elder siblings, etc.).
(2) **Kshamasheelata** is forgiving, meaning to tolerate the offenses of those who have wronged us, even when we have the power to retaliate. It is not allowing anger to arise even when provoked.
(3) **Dayaluata** is having compassion for all living beings and striving to alleviate their suffering.
