3.112
Bondage is that reception and interpenetration which the self, under the influence of false view, non-abstinence, negligence, and passions, as well as under the influence of activity, effects with subtle material particles occupying the same space and possessing infinite spatial units, which are fit to become karma. So it has been said: "Because it possesses passions, the soul takes in material particles fit to become karma; that is bondage." In that statement, the mention of passions is meant to indicate all the causes of bondage. The venerable teacher Umāsvāti recited the causes of bondage: "False view, non-abstinence, negligence, passions, and activity are the causes of bondage."
