He who does not help a seeker remains firm on the path of samykatva. He who does not feel a spontaneous and selfless affection towards co-religionists despite seeing their plight and being capable of helping them.

It is because of these reasons that it is extremely important to give up the 25 defects regarding samyaktva.
