Concept: Sin operates through body, mind, and speech; its fruit is adho-gati (descent into lower states).
Application: Adopt a daily triad check: (1) bodily non-harm, (2) mental non-envy, (3) truthful/beneficial speech; use japa and satsanga to cleanse manas, and mindful speech to prevent vāk-doṣa.

Visual Art Cues: {"scene_description":"A triptych composition shows the same seeker at three thresholds: hands poised to act, mind swirling with subtle thought-forms, and lips releasing words that become arrows or flowers.

FAQs
Sin is classified as threefold based on the instrument of action: physical (kāya), mental (manas), and verbal (vāc).
It indicates a downward trajectory in one’s spiritual and moral condition—leading to lower states of existence or suffering as a karmic consequence.
Ethical discipline must cover all three domains—conduct, thoughts, and speech—because harm in any of these produces negative karmic results.
