THE PRACTICAL DHARMA
The third category comprises : (i) reprehensible discourse about politics, adventure, women and
food, (ii) sense-gratification, (iii) mild kind of passions, (iv) sleep, and
(v) gossip.
The kaşāyas include four different types of anger, pride, deceit and greed, and nine minor blemishes (no-kaṣāyas), namely, joking, liking, dislike, grief, fear, disgust and the three kinds of sex passion peculiar to the three sexes, the male, the female and the neuter. The four types of kaşāyas are :
(1) the anantānubandhi, i.e., that which prevents one'e acquiring the right faith and stands in the way of true discernment;
(2) the apratyākhyāna, or that which prevents the observance of even the minor vows of a householder;
(3) the pratyākhyāna, which interferes with the observance of the vratas (vows) enjoined on a monk; and
(4) the sanjvalana, which is of a mild nature, and the last obstacle to the absolute purity of Right Conduct.
Yogas (channels for the material influx) are three, namely
(i) manoyoga, that is, mental activity, or thought, (ii) kāyāyoga, or bodily actions, and (iii) rachanayoga, 2.., speech.
These are the main causes of ūsrava, and, although the sub-heads in this classification may be divided still further, it would serve no useful purpose to describe their minute sub-divisions here.
