## Fourth Study: Pratikramana
[89]
Milk is obtained from a cow, and a leech obtains blood. The location is the same. Diamond and coal are obtained from the same mine, and flowers and thorns from the same plant. What one receives depends on their vision.
There are two types of Samyak Shraddha:
* **Vyavahar-Samkit (Shraddha)** is faith in a good Guru, good Devata, and good Dharma.
* **Nischya Samyaktv** is the faith of a Sadhak who is steadfast in Samyak Darshan, Samyak Gyan, and Samyak Charitra. This Sadhak has realized the true nature of the soul and has faith in its infinite power.
Shraddha is the first step in entering the palace of liberation.
The foundation of Sadhana is truly Samyak Darshan. Without it, the word "Dharma" cannot be associated with any action. In this text, the Sadhak vows that they have faith, understanding, and belief in the Dharma taught by the Vitarag. They also vow to have affection and interest in it.
**Fasem-Palem-Anupalem:** Jain Darshan does not consider only faith and understanding as the cause of achieving the goal. Climbing the first step and staying there will not allow entry into the palace of liberation. The Agamkaras have instructed the Sadhak to move forward with Samyak Shraddha, to climb higher, and to vow to touch the Dharma, to follow it in every situation throughout life, and to protect the accepted Dharma even in favorable and unfavorable circumstances. They vow to firmly follow the Dharma practiced by the previous Aaptapurushas.
The Mumukhu Sadhak repeats this vow again and again. Only then can they succeed in their goal. Just as a tailor uses thread along with a needle to make a piece of cloth whole, similarly, conduct is essential along with Samyaktv (Shraddha).
**Abbhuttiomi:** In this text, the Sadhak vows to be fully prepared for the worship of Dharma, standing firm in the field of Dharma worship, with faith, affection, understanding, touch, following, and adherence to Dharma.
**Jn-Parijna and Pratyakhyan-Parijna:** The Acharaanga and other Agam literature mention two types of Parijna:
* **Jn-Parijna:** Knowing the nature of the Heya, Upadeshya, and Jneya substances.
* **Pratyakhyan-Parijna:** Rejecting and abandoning the Heya.
There are two types of Pratyakhyan:
1. **Supratyakhyan**
2. **Dushtpratyakhyan**
Knowing the nature of Pratyakhyan and the nature of the substances that are rejected...
