The attainment of a pure soul, free from the five astikayas and ego, is opposed to pride. The attainment of a soul free from the world is opposed to illusion. The agitation that prevents the satisfaction arising from the contemplation of the pure soul is called agitation. The agitated state of mind that is opposed to the experience of the pure soul, free from agitation, is called mental agitation. The agitation in the mind caused by the intensity of these passions, such as anger, is called defilement. The state of mind that is opposed to this defilement is called purity or auspicious attachment, which is in the form of mild passions. This very state is the cause of the inflow of karmic actions. This state arises even in an ignorant person with a false view, when the mild rise of infinite attachment occurs. And this auspicious state arises in a knowledgeable person when he does not experience the benefit of his own experience without any defilement, and the knowledgeable person, in order to avoid wrong meditation, adopts this state of mind, which is in the form of happiness, as compassion, forgiveness, etc. || 138 ||
Thus, the causes of the inflow of auspicious karmic actions have been explained in four verses.
This is the description of the nature of the inflow of inauspicious karmic actions. The conduct full of carelessness, the defilement, the fickleness in the objects, the causing of sorrow to others, and the slander of others, all these cause the inflow of inauspicious karmic actions. || 139 ||
The conduct full of carelessness, the defilement, the fickleness in the objects, the causing of sorrow to others, and the slander of others, all these cause the inflow of inauspicious karmic actions. || 139 ||
The culmination of conduct full of carelessness, the culmination of defilement, the culmination of fickleness in the objects, the culmination of causing sorrow to others, and the culmination of slander of others, these five inauspicious states are the mere causes of the inflow of material inauspicious karmic actions, because they are the cause of the inflow of material inauspicious karmic actions. Therefore, the inflow of mental inauspicious karmic actions precedes the inflow of material inauspicious karmic actions. And those [inauspicious states] which are their cause, the inauspicious karmic results of the pudgalas that enter through yoga, are the inflow of material inauspicious karmic actions. || 139 ||
Meaning of the text: (Conduct full of carelessness) very careless conduct, (defilement) defilement, (fickleness in the objects) fickleness towards objects, (causing sorrow to others and slander of others) causing sorrow to others and speaking ill of others, that (causes the inflow of inauspicious karmic actions) causes the inflow of inauspicious karmic actions.
Commentary: This is the statement of the nature of the inflow of inauspicious karmic actions.
The culmination of conduct full of carelessness, the culmination of fickleness in the objects, the culmination of causing sorrow to others (the culmination of causing suffering to others), and the culmination of slander of others - these five inauspicious states are the mere causes of the inflow of material inauspicious karmic actions, therefore, the inflow of mental inauspicious karmic actions precedes the inflow of material inauspicious karmic actions.
And those [inauspicious states] which are their cause, the inauspicious karmic results of the pudgalas that enter through yoga, are the inflow of material inauspicious karmic actions. || 139 ||
