subtypes of the non-destructive karmas. This does not result in karmic bondage of any kind, because the reasons for the karmic bondages are attachment and aversion, which are inauspicious in nature and have no place among the auspicious volitional dispositions.
Not only this, the inauspicious – sinful karma subtypes also get converted into the auspicious – meritorious subtypes. This means that the inauspicious – sinful karma subtypes get liberalised and get converted into the auspicious – meritorious subtypes. Also, the auspicious volitional dispositions result in the reduction in the durations and intensities of the inauspicious – sinful karma subtypes and into the increased durations and intensities of the auspicious – meritorious subtypes, which is indicative of the spiritual ascendance.
The feeling of general weal is inherent in the auspicious volitions, which results in the feeling of joy and a desire to please, towards the one with auspicious volitions, in everyone's heart. This results in the exchange of mutual affection, feeling of joy and love, which helps in the reduction of attachment and karmic destruction. Also, the hearts of those who knowingly or unknowingly benefit from the auspicious volitions, and activities that ensue there from, are filled with love for their benefactor and they consider it their good fortune to get an opportunity to help him in the pursuit of his auspicious activities and, therefore, they remain ever ready for rendering any required assistance to him. This is a by-product of his auspicious activities. This indicates his excellent grip on his physical environment. It must be noted that the benefactor expects no such help from any quarter. His needs are fulfilled automatically and without his asking. He never suffers wants and remains ever fulfilled.
What is meant is that the destructo-subsidential volition in the form of reduced passions result in the destruction cum subsidence of the four destructive karma types and in the ascendance of durations and intensities of the auspicious subtypes of the four non-destructive karmas. Similarly, the auspicious volition in the form of destruction of passions results in the destruction of the four destructive karma types
