Deluding Karma is of two types, pertaining to perception and behavior; they can be destroyed by enlightenment and detachment; that is the unfailing remedy.
The perception-deluding Karma does not allow one to perceive correctly. Thereby he stays away from the right understanding. He therefore cannot exercise the discernment to make out what is right and what is wrong. That is the root cause of the worldly wandering.
That situation changes when one knows about the truth from a true Guru. For that purpose he should be eager to know the truth and be lucky enough to come across a true Guru.
If he recognizes the importance of such a Guru, he would develop reverence and respect for him. In that case he would listen to and ponder over what the Guru states. The light may thereby dawn upon him and he may realize that what he had been thinking till then was wrong.
Such realization leads him to understand that he is not the body, but he is a soul.
The perception-deluding Karma perverts thinking and creates delusion about the soul's true properties. Soul is inherently imbibed with infinite happiness, but the impact of the said Karma does not allow it to perceive that and leads it to look for happiness from worldly objects.
That situation changes with the overcoming of wrong perception. One is now in a position to make out the real truth. He realizes that he is not the continually changing body, but he is the everlasting soul. He therefore sets the well being of his soul as the objective.
The built-in prejudices, conditioning, strong habits, etc. may, however, come in his way. But he makes out that such factors operate as the consequence of the character-related delusive Karma that needs to be overcome. By virtue of right perception he recognizes those factors as hurting his own Self and tries to overcome the same. As the perception becomes increasingly clear, he realizes that his getting attached to or resenting any worldly situation is the principal cause of acquiring the bondage of Karma.
Thus he develops detachment to an ever increasing extent. Ultimately his detachment reaches a level, when he can stay free from all sorts of attachment or resentment. It is therefore said here that enlightenment and detachment are the infallible ways to overcome perception-related and character-related deluding Karmas respectively.
