The Sutra Kritanga Sutra. Those who have attained the path by conviction, due to their ignorance, are like those who are ignorant of their own path and consider it to be the right path, while considering the path of others to be wrong. They are themselves deluded and delude others. ||18||
_Commentary - The ignorant cannot convince themselves or others about their own doctrines. The author of the Agamas illustrates this point with an example -
Just as a foolish, lost creature in the forest is unable to know the directions and follows another lost creature, both of them, not being wise or clever in knowing the path well, suffer intense unbearable pain or get lost in the dense forest because they are covered with ignorance, their knowledge is not uncovered. Similarly, those ignorant people who consider their own path - their own theoretical beliefs - to be the right and good truth and the path of others - their doctrines - to be wrong and untrue, are themselves deluded - possessed by delusion - and make others deluded.
The blind leads the blind, far away they go.
The creature falls into a wrong path, following a wrong path. ||19||
_Commentary - The author presents another example for the same point -
Just as a blind man, leading another blind man, goes far away from the intended path, further than the intended path, so the blind creature falls into a wrong path. Or, he may follow another path, not the intended path. ||19||
