CHAPTER-VI
271
Remembering this doctrine, it is not proper to indulge in unjustifiable forms of false belief under pressure of censure, praise, fear or greed.
Oh ! the true omniscient God, true preceptor and true religion are the supreme objects; the religion rests on them. How could religion be evolved by fickleness and indecision about them? What more to speak? It is extremely necessary to forsake in every way, the company of false deity, false preceptor and false religion.
By not abdicating the false deity, etc., the false belief is greatly strengthened and in the present times, the tendency of adoring them is found specifically more here. Therefore, their abdication is forcefully described here. Knowing all this, one should adopt the path of liberation by forsaking false belief.
Thus ends the 6th chapter of the treatise Moksha Marg Prakashak in which the description of false deity, false preceptor, false religion is done for abdicating them.
