Bandha is the state in which karmic matter adheres to the soul. Jain texts analyse it by type, duration, intensity and quantity. The four passions, kaṣāya, of anger, pride, deceit and greed, are the glue. To loosen bondage the aspirant cultivates their opposites: forgiveness, humility, straightforwardness and contentment.
