176. And in
that knowing soul, the formerly bound Karmas (are ineffectual) like clad
of earth, although all of them are bound with its karmic body.
Commentary.
When a person becomes
a right believer and a right knower of true principle and realizes the
discrimination between the true and real nature of soul and non-soul he is
at first a right believer of the subsidential kind. Wrong belief and
error-feeding passion karmas, which are not yet destroyed, but made to
subside, simply exist without producing any effect like a clod of earth.
If he is firm in right belief he will not allow them to operate again and
will save himself from relapsing into wrong belief. He will, then,
transform himself into a right believer of the destructive subsidential
kind. There-afterwards, if he happens to be in the presence of an
Omniscient or a saint with full scriptural knowledge, he will remove all
right-belief preventing Karmas from existence in the soul, and will become
a right believer of the destructive description. He could never again
replace into perverse belief and shall soon obtain Liberation. Material
Karmas cannot disturb the thought-activity of soul, unless they operate,
and the soul is not strong enough to resist their, operation. One should
not, therefore, be afraid of karmas merely in existence, but must to be
strong in soul-power in order to resist their operation, and to let them
be exhausted and shed off.

177. As those which
are of four kinds (wrong belief, vowlessness, passions and vibratory
activity) bind the soul every moment with many kinds of Karmas with the
help of the soul�s attributes of conation and knowledge (love and hatred),
therefore, the knowing soul (attentive to itself) is certainly incapable
of being bound by Karmas.
Commentary.
The knowing soul
when attentive to itself is free from bondage. The previously bound
Karmas are really the auxiliary cause of the inflow of fresh Karmas. Soul
by itself does neither taken in, nor bind any Karmas at all. It is really
free from all inflow and bondage. A seeker after Liberation must improve
his soul-power in order to resist the operation of deluding Karma, which
is the chief enemy of the mundane soul.

178. And
because the attribute of knowledge when in a low stage (below the 11th) is
again modified into something else (Love, hatred) it is, in that view said
to be the binder (of karmas).
Commentary.
A person who has
not attained the destructive stage of a right believer, falls down for
want of sufficient strength in his soul power from right belief into wrong
belief. He is subjected to bondage of wrong belief and other karmas on
account of his thought-activity being affected with strong delusion,
attraction or repulsion, and is again attached to the world. It is the
deluding karma which must be destroyed. As long as it has the least
mastery over consciousness, no check of inflow of karmas is possible. A
right believer should therefore believe himself to be the Pure Soul and
should realise his own pure nature, by practising self-absorption. It is
this conduct only, which can weaken the passions and improve soul-power.

179. When right
belief, knowledge (and) conduct manifest (themselves) in a low degree,
then the knower is bound by many of karmic matter.
Commentary.
A right believer
in the 4th stage of vowels-right-belief has the least degree of right
conduct. Unless all the passions are totally subsided or destroyed, he
cannot attain that pure and perfect conduct which does not bind any Karma
at all.

such Karmas as are appropriate to his attentiveness.

unripe for fruition, when they (the Karmas) become ripe for fruition, they
bind the 7 or 8 kinds of knowledge obscuring and other forms of Karmas.

Usually seven
kinds of Karmas are bound up. The age-karma is bound in special
circumstances.

reasons indeed, a right believer is not the binder of Karmas. In the
absence of thought inflow the Karmas are not said to be the binders.
Commentary.
The Material
molecules of deluding Karma being merel bound up in a soul, do not affect
him, unless they come into operation and the soul�s thought-activity is
not strong enough to resist their operation. Where there is impure
thought-activity there is bondage. Till the 10th spiritual stage, seven
Karmas are being bound ever moment by the soul, but age-karma is bound
only on certain occasions. It is bound in one of the 8 declining times
(vide Gammatsara Jiva Kanda Gatja 518, page 258).
