2. The sage said:— All the various courses or goals of Karma differ from one another according to the doer's faith or spirit which differs as affected by the three guṇas. All these are attained by every one (only) in due proportion to this or that guṇa influencing his faith.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam

3. Now then the fruit of Karma is different as the character of the unrighteous action is of the prohibited kind and as the faith or spirit of the doer varies. Those courses of hell, which in a thousand ways are ordained and result from their desires indulged under the force of Eternal Avidya, we shall at great length describe.
