Chapter - 3 knowledge. Any knowledge that is contrary to the truth is perverted knowledge and in this case he who believes that the soul has transformed karma or that karma has transformed the soul is possessed of perverted knowledge. And because this belief is beginningless the soul continues the worldly existence and is obstructed from being emancipated.
This criterion for perverted knowledge automatically yields its opposite viz., criterion for the right knowledge or jñāna. Since the perverted knowledge was accepted as the condition for bondage and continuation of the worldly state of existence, its antidote the right knowledge must be accepted as the condition of emancipation and the end of worldly existence. The gist of the discussion is: As long as the soul accepts the authorship/ownership of karma it will continue to accumulate karmic matter and continue its worldly existence. And as soon as it realizes that it is not the author/owner of karma the accumulation stops and the process of emancipation commences. Soul itself is the Determinant of Distorted or

kattā tassuvaogassa hodi so attabhāvassa..27 (Esa tiviho uvaogo) This [aforementioned) threefold (deluded] consciousness (kohoham appaviyappam kuredi) indulges in such predicates as “I am anger” (so tassa uvuogassa attabhāvussu kuttā hodi) and in so doing it determines psychic states corresponding to consciousness, this is, it becomes the determinant [kurtā] of these psychic states. 1. In chemistry a catalytic reaction is one in which presence of a third chemical is
necessary for a chemical reaction between two chemical substances. The reaction will not occur in the absence of the catalyst which itself does not take part in the reaction.
