3. Vinayavaada - absence of the ability to discriminate between the good and the bad gives rise to
the desire to play safe, which leads to practising a religion that is well liked by everyone. 4. Agynaanavaada - belief that ignorance is the true religion and hence considers ignorance to be
the supreme spiritual achievement.
5) Parapaasanda santhavo - learning and keeping in touch with the 363 types of false philosophies. Keeping in touch with wrong eventually influence one's mindset. So Jain religion says that it's better not to stay in contact with such or else may result in one's downfall.
Atichaara is the occurrence of a clouding of the pure disposition of the mind and the consequent depetion/corruption of samyaktva. Atichaara is caused by doubt in the teachings of the Jinaas. It occurs as a direct result of the rise of mithyaatva mohaniiya karmas. It is an inauspicious disposition of the soul. It causes the dilution/depletion/corruption/loss of samyaktva. The momentone's mohaniiya karmas come into fruition (uday), they cause this atichaara and as a consequence, the soul increases its journey of transmigration.
• One who indulges in shankaa {doubt causes harm to the self. • One who indulges in kaankhaa {desires temporal gains from spiritual activities causes harm
to the self. One who indulges in vitigichhaa {lack of belief} causes the complete loss of everything he has gained. One who indulges in parapaasanda prashansaa {praise of a false/deluded faith} not only drowns in the ocean of transmigration, he causes others too, to drown in that ocean.
7) Five ornaments:
Ornaments add to the glory of the faith. Just as gold ornaments add beauty and grandeur to the physical appearance, the five ornaments of the one who has attained enlightened perception add to the lustre of the person himself but also to the entire Jain community.
The five ornaments of Jainism are:
1. Kushaltaa {fit/competent/able/skilful/clever/conversant} 2. Prabhaavaka {prominent/powerful/influential 3. Vaiyaavachi (one who delights in serving the true ascetics 4. Sthiratvadaayii {who helps others become steadfast/firm/committed/stable 5. Dhairyavaan {firmness, constancy, calmness, patience, gravity, fortitude, courage}
1. Kushala - One who is kushala is adept at working for the greater glory of the cause. He understands samyaktva well. He is conversant with meditation, atonement, etc.
