________________
intents or activities get liberalised and are converted into auspicious intents and activities. Again, the auspicious volition results in the reduction of durations and intensities of the inauspicious karmic subtypes and increase in those of the auspicious karmic subtypes, which indicates spiritual ascendance. The auspicious volition gives rise to generally beneficial activities and it generates goodwill and joy, for the one with auspicious volition, in the hearts of those who benefit by it. Like this, auspicious volition results in the exchange of finer feelings like affection, love, and joy, which come handy in the reduction of attachment and destruction of karmic bondages. All those who benefit by the auspicious volition and activities are filled with love for the one from whom they benefit and they, too, feel happy in serving and helping him. They feel rewarded in lending a helping hand in fulfilling his projects and works. They remain ever ready to serve and assist him in his work. This is a by-product of his auspicious volition. This indicates a high degree of physical development. The person with auspicious volition does not have any expectations from anybody and his needs are met automatically without his asking for help. Thus, he is ever rich and without any wants.
What is meant here is that the auspicious feelings that arise due to reduction in passions, auspicious activities and destructo-subsidential feelings result in destruction of the destructive karmas in the form of their destruction cum subsidence. They also result in ascendance in the intensities of the auspicious types of non-destructive karmas. When the passions are destroyed, the rise of pure volition coupled with auspicious activities become instrumental in destruction of the nondestructive karmas. It is only then that the infinite set of infinite knowledge, infinite vision, infinite charity, infinite gain, infinite enjoyment, infinite joy, infinite spiritual prowess and karmic destruction based righteousness and conduct arise in the spirit. Thus, the auspicious activities are also instrumental in the full realisation of a living being's physical and spiritual potential. Once, he achieves this ultimate accomplishment, nothing remains to be gained by him, he becomes all accomplished.
