Gurūpadeśamālambya prādur-bhavati dehinám; Yattusamyakchraddhānam tat syādadhigamajam param.
The perfect faith, which becomes manifest to people by in struction from a Guru, is called Adhigamaja afiropas Samyaktva.
बलादपि श्राद्धजनस्य दीयते, सहर्शनं सर्वसुखैकजन्मभूः । व्यदीधपद्वीरजिनस्तदुद्यम श्रीगौतमेनापि न किं कृषीवले । Balādapi śrāddhajanasya diyate, saddarśanam sarvasukhaika janmabhūh, Vyadıdhapadvira-jinastarluyamam Śree Gautamönāpi na kim krisivald.
Samyaktva, which is the unique source of all kinds of happiness, is even given to a Srāvaka against his will, Such an effort was made by Śramaņa Bhagavān Mahavira, on a farnier through his chief disciple Sri Gautama Swami.
The story of the farmer runs thus
Bhagavān Śrî Mahāvira Swāni, who was like a Moving Kalpa-Vriksa FTTH-the Wishing Tree, while going about from village to village, once said to Gautama Gañadhara:-O friend ! go and enlighten the farmer there, he will be greatly benefited by you'. On receiving this order, Bhagavān Sri Gautama Swāmi went to the farmer and sail o fortunate man! Are you happy ? why do you incur sin neellessly, by killing two-sensed and other Jivas in agriculture ? Why do you involve your Soul into calamity by maintaining your poor family with such sinful means. Hear -
संसारमावनपरस्सभठ्ठा साहारणं जं च करेइ कम्म
कम्मरस ते तस्स उवेयकाले, न बंधवा बंधवयं उविति ॥ Sanısāramāvanna-parassatthā sāharaṇam jam ca karèi kammam; Kammassa tè tassa uvèyahālè, na bandhavā bandhavayam uvinti.
The man, who, being born in Samsāra, does ordinary work
