**Deepradrusti:** This statement, that **Kshayika Samyagjnandristi** is the only **Nishchay Veghavedya Pad** (279), is not meant to praise **Aviratipana**, but rather to highlight the unparalleled glory of **Samyagdarshan**, the knowledge of the self, the experience of the soul, even though there may be external **Avirati**. Moreover, true **Samyagdarshan**, as seen with feeling, is an unparalleled glory for the **Samyagdristi** person, who has attained **Viram-Virati** from the external world through the inner self. Otherwise, **Samyagdarshan** combined with external **Virati** is like mixing fragrance into gold. But knowledge without **Samyagdarshan** is like not knowing at all; it is like a large, empty vessel. Similarly, **Charitra-Virati-Vratapacchakhana** without **Samyagdarshan** is also like a large, empty vessel, useless for attaining **Moksha**, as stated in the **Shri Bhagavati Sutra**.
This is what **Shrimad Rajchandraji**, in his profound and secret words, says in the same place, expressing this feeling: "He who has learned before, but does not know the soul, is ignorant, as the scriptures testify. All that has been said before, the soul must make pure. The Jina says, this is knowledge, let all the noble ones listen. Knowledge is not found in scriptures, nor in the cleverness of poets, nor in mantras and tantras, nor in language. Knowledge is not found in other places, knowledge is an art in the knower. The Jina says, this is knowledge, let all the noble ones listen. The soul and this body are not separate, until this is understood, the meaning of liberation is not spoken. The fifth limb of the teaching is pure, the Jina says, this is knowledge, let all the noble ones listen. Even those who have learned about the scriptures, but do not know their own form, let them take refuge in me with feeling. This is the knowledge that is spoken of, which is found in the place of agreement, etc. The Jina says, this is knowledge, let all the noble ones listen."
**Shrimad Rajchandraji** says that **Samyagdarshan**, which is inseparable from the experience of the soul, that is, which has the experience of the soul with certainty, has this supreme effect. Therefore, once it is attained, it never leads to **Durgati** again. Some may doubt this, saying that there are countless beings in the world who have received **Samyagdarshan**, but have fallen back, and who often experience **Durgati**. How is this possible?
