## Fourth Study: Pratikramana
[91]
This false knowledge is called ignorance here. The knowledge that accompanies right faith is called right knowledge. It is called knowledge here.
Akriya-Kriya - I know and abandon non-action, which is nihilism. Acharya Haribhadra considers non-action as a special kind of ignorance and action as a kind of knowledge - "Akriya Nastikavada: Kriya Samyagvada." Not believing in the world, the afterlife, dharma, and adharma is nihilism. Conversely, believing in the world, the afterlife, dharma, and adharma is theism.
According to Acharya Jinadas - "Appasatta Kiriya Akriya, Itara Kiriya Iti." That is, inappropriate action is called non-action and appropriate action is called action.
Michchatt-Sammatt - There are eighteen types of sins. The last, eighteenth sin is false belief. False belief is the only sin that nourishes, protects, and increases all other sins. It is the result of this that the soul has had to endure all the suffering of birth, death, etc. from time immemorial. As long as there is false belief, all sins are safe.
False belief keeps one trapped in the cycle of existence, while right belief grants the ultimate happiness of liberation and makes the soul a supreme soul. False belief is destructive, while right belief is liberating and protective. Thus, the seeker understands the nature of false belief and right belief, abandons false belief, and accepts right belief.
Abodhi-Bodhi - "Abodhih - Mithyatvakarya, Bodhistu Samyaktvasyeti."
- Acharya Haribhadra
Abodhi is the work of false belief, and Bodhi is the work of right belief.
Holding onto false beliefs, being attached to worldly pleasures, criticizing dharma, speaking ill of the liberated Arihant Bhagwan, etc. are the works of false belief. Holding onto truth, being indifferent to worldly pleasures, having firm faith in dharma, having love and compassion for all beings, etc. are the works of right belief. To know and understand Abodhi and abandon it, and to accept Bodhi.
Amagga-Magga - I know and abandon the wrong path, such as violence, and accept the right path, such as non-violence, the path of liberation. Or, I abandon the wrong path, which is opposed to Jainism, such as the path of the Parsva sect and the path followed by the heretics, and accept the path of the three jewels, knowledge, faith, and conduct.
What I hold, and what I do not hold.
