It is lobha-måla citta with the name:
“Somanassa-sahagataü diññhigata-sampayuttaü asaïkhàrika
citta”.
Now a man is stealing a handbag after much persuasion by
himself because he is aware of the immoral kamma and its bad
effect. What is his citta?
Again it is lobha-måla citta because lobha (greed) is the cause
of stealing. The name of the citta is
“Upekkhà-sahagataü diññhigata-vippayuttaü sasaïkhàrika citta”.
Other examples to illustrate the eight types of lobha-måla
cittas are given below.
Type 1 A person is enjoying food and drinks without
paying any attention to kamma.
Type 2 A person after being persuaded by his companion,
watches a movie joyfully without any attention to
kamma.
Type 3 A lady delightfully puts on a new dress, but she is
aware that attachment to the dress gives rise to
lobha-måla cittas.
Type 4 A girl is aware of kamma and its fruits, but she, in
compliance with the request of her companions,
listens to modern songs joyfully.
Type 5 A boy is eating plain rice with salt with some attachment
but without joy and knowledge of kamma.
Type 6 A girl appreciates her new dress after being
explained by her mother that the dress is beautiful.
But she has neutral feeling and no knowledge of
kamma.
Type 7 Reasoning about kamma, you drink coffee with
neutral feeling, but still you appreciate the taste.
