141. From the vyavahara point of view, it is said that karmas bind and are in contact with the Self; but from the pure (absolute) point of view, karmas neither bind nor are in contact with the Self. Thus from the different points of view the Self is said to be either bound or free according as it is associated with upadhis or free from them.After stating that bondage and freedom are predicated of the Self according to different points of view the author next points out that samayasara, or Ego-in-itself, is beyond the view points.
