[288] The *jivajivaabhigamsutra* exists and also performs *mithyakriya*. The action with beautiful *adhyavasaya* is *samyakriya* and the action with ugly *adhyavasaya* is *mithyakriya*. At the time when the *jiva* performs *samyakriya*, it also performs *mithyakriya*, and at the time when it performs *mithyakriya*, it also performs *samyakriya*. Because the nature of the *jiva* is to perform both actions. The *jiva* has the nature of performing both actions in a combined form. Therefore, whatever good or bad action the *jiva* is inclined towards, its nature of performing both actions remains present. Due to the nature of performing both actions, its action is also of both forms. When milk and water are mixed, it must be called of both forms, not one form. Therefore, at the time when the *jiva* is performing *samyakriya*, the tendency of its nature of performing both actions is also happening, otherwise, the tendency cannot be complete. Due to the tendency of the nature of performing both actions, at the time when *samyakriya* is happening, *mithyakriya* is also happening, and at the time when *mithyakriya* is happening, *samyakriya* is also happening. Therefore, a *jiva* can perform both actions at the same time - *samyakriya* and *mithyakriya*. The belief of these *anyatheethikas* is false. The Lord says, "O Gautama! A *jiva* can perform only one action at a time - *samyakriya* or *mithyakriya*. It cannot perform both actions together because there is mutual avoidance and opposition between them. If *samyakriya* is happening, then *mithyakriya* cannot happen, and if *mithyakriya* is happening, then *samyakriya* cannot happen. The *jiva* does not have the nature of performing both actions. If the nature of performing both actions is assumed, then *mithyatva* will never cease, and in such a situation, there will be a lack of liberation. Therefore, it is proven that when performing *samyakriya*, it does not perform *mithyakriya*, and when performing *mithyakriya*, it does not perform *samyakriya*. *Samyakriya* and *mithyakriya* leave each other, they cannot exist together. Therefore, this is the correct principle that a *jiva* can perform only one action at a time - *samyakriya* or *mithyakriya*, both actions are never possible together. // The second *uddeshaka* in the *tiryakyonika* authority of the third *pratipatti* ends. //
