10. Karma-Sutra
Mahavira & Doctrine of Karma / 77
Influenced by their own karmas, all beings wander in the wheel of samsara.
And suffer according to their previously acquired karmas.
Without experiencing the fruit of the acquired karmas, they will never be liberated.
None can escape the effect of their own past karmas.
Auspicious karmas bring beneficial results.
Evil karmas bring in harmful results.
Bondage is not due to materials but it is due to attachment and aversion.
Attachment binds the soul.
Detachment frees the soul.
Soul is free while accumulating the karma.
Soul is helpless when karma ripens.
Enlightenment comes with mastery over the body and control over the mind.
