CANDRAVEDHYAKA PRAKĪRŅAKA : 31
72. Not establishing himself in the virtues and not forsaking the vices, the learned neither becomes free from those vices nor does he gain those virtues.
73. Spiritual practice without the right knowledge and the right knowledge without the right conduct does not liberate (meaning that without each other they are meaningless). The knower who practices the right conduct, swims across the worldly ocean.
74. The knower, who is steadfast in his right conduct, destroys the karmic bonds bonded, due to ignorance and lack of restraint, over many births.
75. As the warrior wothout the weapon and the weapon without the warrior are useless, so are action without knowledge and knowledge without action.
76. A person without the right belief does not attain the right knowledge and one without the right knowledge cannot practicethe righit conduct. Without the right conduct, there is no liberation.
