THEISM AND DOCTRINE OF KARMA
123
The bondage based on prakrti and pradeśa is possible due to Yoga, while sthiti and anubhāga are due to passions. Passions are the primary force for the bondage of karma. In the development of the stages of self-realization, the two causes of passions and Yoga work up to 10"Guņasthāna. 38
In case of the souls those are free from passions, still the karmic flow may take place, but it is only due to activity (Yoga). Passions bring intensity and duration of karma."
Types of Kaşāya (Passion): Kaşāya or passion is of four types: krodha (anger), māna (ego), māyā (deceitfulness) and lobha (greed).*'In brief passions can be considered of two types (1) rāga (attachment) and (2) dveșa (aversion) include all the four forms of passions. In rāga (attachment) deceitfulness and greed and in dveșa we find anger and ego included. **
Rāga and dveşa bring about the bondage of eight-fold karmas, and considered to be bhāva-karma. The root cause of rāgadveşa is moha (infatuation).
Ācārya Haribhadra says that just as if a man anoints oil on his body and anointed body attracts the particles of dust get deposited on the anointed body. So also the karmic particles get glued to the soul due to rāga-dvesa '. We should remember that the perversity, which is the cause of the bondage of karma, is developed by attachment and hatred. The intensity of attachment and hatred
