The Science of Reincarnation,
The Toll of Karma
These Karma inhibit the process of spiritual awakening. The fundamental understanding of perfect knowledge takes the path of what is known as Moksha or Nirvan, that is, free from the cycle of birth and death. It could be further classified in the following three sub-groups:
i) Mithyatva Mohniya Karma: Any karma caused by attachment concerning truthful or untruthful matters. For example, someone is ignoring the truth and projecting untruthful ideas because of the attachment associated with desire to gain something. This projection of untruth due to attachment associated with personal gain of any kind is termed as Mithyatva Mohniya Karma. Suppose someone invites you for a job and projects in such a way which gives you a feeling without doubt that the person is going to share everything whenever required. But what happens when you accept the job and start working? You hardly get even a single thing to share. Or, consider an other situation where you are given assurance that you will get financial reward or any other kind of reward after you have achieved some preset goal. But afterwards, you are not given this reward.
Thus, any kind of untruthfulness where the intention is to get gain by any unfairness is Mithyatva Mohniya Karma.
