(3) Pleasure or Pain experiencing Karma 9 : In the manner one afflicts others, similar afflictions he shall have to suffer. As one behaves mentally, vocally or physically with others, in the like manner that Karma bears recompence (reaction) to its doer. Pleasant behaviour begets pleasant experiennce while testing behaviour will fructify into miseries. Where there is alikeness in experience of pleasure or pain (even mindedness), then this karma begins to shatter off. 4. Delusive karma10: Bondage with this enshrouding karmas is caused by the deluded state of mind or blind, false belief in life. This delusive force (inclination) is greatest of all. It neither allows the consciousness to incline towards self recognition nor towards amelioration of its conduct (self absorption). The force of Delusion has been recognised so violent that if this delusion alone is got rid off., then this whole tree of karma will get shaking and fall down because this delusion is the main stay of all these incongruities. If the roots are shaken, it will not take much time to fall down. Primarily, due to this delusion the tendencies of attachment and hatred are formed, attachment towards that who is meum (mine) and aversion to one who is alien to me or mine. Life 9.
