Fourth tenet is : ‘soul is the enjoyer of its acts or rather their effects ’: This tenet is grounded in the principle of cause and effect relationship. If one does, any act ( mental, oral or physical ) one has to bear its fruit. Fifth tenet is, there is liberation of the soul. ’As soul is the author and sufferer, the soul has also the power to lessen or destroy its karma or karma-bondage by avoiding passions, by doing svādhyāya, meditation etc., and by remaining in its own nature and disassociating itself from and not being interested or involved in temporal and worldly things..
Sixth tenet is that there is a path to liberation, and hence it is said: “Darśana- jñāna cārrītrāņi mokşa mārgaḥ.”
As stated above the karma-bondage can be destroyed by avoiding passions etc., and also by thc practice of the above mentioned three jewels and thus the soul can be totally freed from karma-bondage and it can attain liberation.
