PHILOSOPHY OF SOUL
Karmas then in a moment you can acquire omniscience. This Mohaniya (obstructing faith of the true nature of objects) Karma has two varieties
(1) Darshana Mohaniya (obscuring intuition)
(2) Charitra-Mohaniya (obscuring right conduct)--Here the former creates confusion in one's belief, resulting in absence of faith for God, preceptor and religion. The latter spoils the conduct.
Man though wise and full of understanding, very often errs in believing right object as the right one. This means that there is some factor or Karma which tries to baffle one's belief or conviction. Supposing, you are travelling by train and you realise that your train appears motionless though it is moving and at the same time you feel that the train in front of you appears moving, though in fact it is motionless. In the same manner the influence of Darshana Mohaniya Karma causes delusion to the soul and consequently it accepts untruth as truth and truth as untruth. As a result, it loses its confidence to realise its faculty of intuition, knowledge and right conduct and at the same time it cannot perceive and enjoy its intrinsic form possessed of truth, consciousness and mirth. (Sat, Chita, and Anand)
Darshana Mohaniya has three varieties : (1) Samyakatva Mohaniya (inducing correct belief) (2) Mishra Mohaniya (inducing mixed belief) (3) Mithyatva Mohaniya (Producing completely wrong belief)
The soul with its perseverance purifies the matter of incorrect belief and when the latter is purged off, Samyakatva Mohaniya prevails.
That is like pure water with the dust particles settled at the bottom. When all the three layers pure, mixed and impure are destroyed soul acquires true belief with total annihilation (kashayika). True belief with complete annihilation (of Wrong belief) is the intrinsic attribute of soul. Therefore you must understand that Mohaniya Karma producing true belief is the obstructor of true belief produced by total annil ilation of Wrong belief.
When false belief particularly is disolved, Mishra (Mixed) Mohaniya arises. Such persons have indecisive character. They
