Panchastikaya Prabhrita
The mode of bondage of the corporeal karmas is to be known as follows: The corporeal karmas, by means of their own smooth and rough transformations, experience a binding in the form of an association. Now, again, the bondage of the corporeal living being and the corporeal karmas is described. The soul, devoid of liberation, is, according to the absolute point of view, non-corporeal, but due to the influence of the beginningless karmic bondage, it becomes corporeal in the empirical point of view. What does it do? Being transformed by the sweet taste of the non-corporeal, indivisible, and eternal blissful nature, it engages those karmic aggregates that are unfit for it, in the form of mutual interpenetration, and binds them. And they, by the impure cognition of the soul, also engage the soul, which has become transformed into karmic nature, in the form of being enveloped, and thus the soul too is bound. Therefore, even the non-corporeal soul has the possibility of bondage in the empirical point of view. Thus it is said, "Bondage is certainly of the nature of the characteristics, and its knowledge is the absence of liberation of the soul."
