Accumulated karmas from many lives are instantly burned in the fire of supreme knowledge. What dampness can remain after such a blaze?
Karma binds only the doer, not the pure witness (Self). The Self is untouched, as the sky is unaffected by clouds.
Acts that bring shame, sorrow, and pain are done under the control of the belly—hunger forces man into indignity.
In poverty, all actions seem delusive, all sufferings are intensified, all sins rise, and all lies emerge.
Though seeking joy or relief from sorrow, humans often choose actions that end in regret—especially in indulgence.
When overcome by desire (Madana's enemy), even the wise and noble abandon dharma, fail to discern right from wrong, and degrade themselves.
Due to karma’s effects and deep delusion, a person stumbles in the wilderness of samsara, like a blind man on a dangerous path.
Subtle qualities of beings are inferred through their actions. Therefore, judge the unseen by the fruits of action.
Deeds of past births manifest as destiny. One should strive through discipline and self-effort, like a farmer tending his field.
When destruction looms due to karma and misdeeds, misjudgment and bad counsel take over, leading to downfall.
