सकारात्मक हिंसा
coming confused and unable to reply, have to keep mum. At times, they take both the sides and contradictory stands unknowingly, and approve of activity in disguise. Many a people who believe this, whirl round endlessly in this world. For them, there is neither sunrise or sunset, nor waxes or wanes of Moon, nor flowing of water, nor blowing of winds in this unreal and absolutely actionless entire world. Like a blind man, who though with lamp, can not see anything in the absence of eyesight, these Akriyavadees also due to perverse intellect cannot perceive activity though a reality [Sootrakritaanga, I. 12 (5-8)]
Similarly, people engrossed only in bhakti (quite different from enlightened faith in Fundamental Truths) for their salvation and doing nothing else have also been disapproved.

Many a person who are Vinayavadees think truth as untruth and bad as good or vice-versa and when asked, always uphold bhakti. For want of real knowledge they see their salvation in bhakti alone [Sootrakritaanga I, 12 (3,4)]
So also Ajnanavadi (Nescient) philosophy has been totally rejected and reference can be made to Sootrakritaanga I, 1(41-46), 12(2) & 14(12,13)
Thus it is clear beyond doubt that Jains have opted for Kriyavad [¶ affer (inactivity is non-Jain)-Anuyogdvara 525(3)] and insist on putting knowledge into action ang g favor o [Sootrakritaanga I, 12(ii)] Bhagvati Sootra 25(7) and Aupapatika 20 prescribe that Kriyavadees should be given all respects and that people born in Karmbhoomi (i.e. land full of activity) alone can attain liberation.
