मनुष्य, शरीर वाणी और मनके द्वारा शास्त्रविहित अथवा शास्त्रविरुद्ध जो कुछ भी कर्म आरम्भ करता है, उसके ये (पूर्वोक्त) पाँचों हेतु होते हैं। आदत और परिणाम एक चक्र बनाते हैं: जो बार-बार किया जाता है, वह अगली प्रवृत्ति को मजबूत करता है। यह पंक्ति कर्म को उसी चक्र के रूप में देखती है, भाग्य के आकस्मिक प्रहार के रूप में नहीं।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
