## Financial Karma Granth
(1) **Kashaya** and **Yoga** - both are the causes of bondage. (2) **Mithyatva**, **Avirati**, **Kashaya** and **Yoga** - these four are the causes of bondage. (3) **Mithyatva**, **Avirati**, **Pramada**, **Kashaya** and **Yoga** - these five are the causes of bondage. In this way, even though there are differences in number and names, there is no difference in essence in these three traditions. **Vak Pramada** is a type of **Asanyama**. Therefore, it is included in **Avirati** or **Kashaya**. And when examined closely, **Mithyatva** and **Asanyama** are not separate from the nature of **Kashaya**. Therefore, **Kashaya** and **Yoga** are considered as the causes of bondage.
_In the Karma Granth, the role of spiritual development in the **Gunasthanas** is explained by mentioning the four causes of bondage - **Mithyatva**, **Avirati**, **Kashaya** and **Yoga**. These causes explain the state of development of the soul. Therefore, the more causes of bondage are present in a **Gunasthan**, the more the bondage of **Karma** will be in that **Gunasthan**. And where these causes of bondage are less, the bondage of **Karma** will also be less. In other words, the tradition of mentioning the four causes - **Mithyatva** etc. - is adopted in the **Karma Granth** to explain the reasons for the bondage of **Karma** that is obtained in different **Gunasthanas**._
_It is a simple rule regarding the bondage of **Karma** that the bondage of **Karma** continues as long as the causes of bondage exist._
