17.4

"The Śāstra says [...] because they act": this explains the latter three karmapathas of covetousness, ill will, and wrong view. Covetousness and the others are in essence not karma, but they are associated with volition (cetanā); volition is of the nature of karma, and it operates based on covetousness and the others, proceeds based on covetousness and the others, and acts based on the force of covetousness, just as a person relies on a path. Thus, although covetousness and the others are in essence not karma, they are karmapathas.
