Held together by cause, fruit, correspondence, support,
the non-appearance of these, the non-appearance of that.
Commentaries and Reflections
Commentary by TKV Desikachar:
“What factors promote favourable Saṃskāra?”
“But Saṃskāra can be fed by Vāsanā.”
“Everything we do has an origin.”
“Nothing destroys Vāsana,
only they become ineffective.”
Commentary by Paul Harvey:
“Until you can experience without
the desire to repeat or reject it,
you are subject to the impact of Saṃskāra
or tendencies from the past.”
