them also by giving discourses. It is, therefore, imperative to make efforts for improving one's own thoughts and dispositions; it is highly desirable to become a true believer by giving up all sorts of false convictions and perverse faiths (Mithyatva bhavas), because the root cause of transmigration (mundane existence) is Mithyatva (false belief); there is no sin greater than Mithyatua.
On destruction of Mithyatva (false belief) along with Anantaanubandhi Kashayas (error feeding intensest passions), the bondage of forty-one Prakritis1 (karmas) also stops, the Sthiti (duration of karmas) gets decreased to the limit of Antah Koda-Kodi Sagaras (within crore of crore Sagaras), the Anubhaga (fruition of karmas) becomes very less only, such a Jiva attains Moksha (liberation state) shortly. And due to the existence of Mithyatva, the liberation path cannot be attained even besides making many other efforts. Therefore, by all sorts of means, it is necessary to destroy Mithyatva totally.
