The collection of yogic views that are devoid of reality is called mithya shraddha, etc. In other words, it is not shraddha, etc. The reason for differentiating between shraddha, atma, etc. is that the scope of shraddha and self-experience is the same. Because shraddha in an unperceived meaning, i.e., shraddha in a meaning that has not been experienced, is like a mirage, like the horns of a donkey. In other words, it is not possible to have firm shraddha in an object that has not been experienced. Moreover, shraddha that is based solely on scriptures, without self-experience, is also not shraddha in the true sense, even though it follows the truth. Because there is no perception, there is no self-experience. The implication is that where there is true, firm shraddha, there is self-experience, and where there is self-experience, there is true, firm shraddha. Thus, there is a scope of both, an inseparable relationship. That is why the term "shraddha" has become a conventional term for the characteristic of samyaktv. Even in that, only shraddha that includes self-experience is true shraddha. This is the meaning to understand. And this is the secret of the great saying, "Taryashraddhanam vachanam - shraddha in the truth is samyagdarshan." Because self-experience is the essence of shraddha. Shraddha without self-experience is not true shraddha.
Thus, without pure self-experience, there is no samyagdarshan, and without self-experience, there is no true shraddha. Therefore, (1) self-experience is the main characteristic of samyagdarshan, or (2) samyak shraddha arising from self-experience is the characteristic of samyagdarshan. This is evident. Here, self-experience means pure self-experience arising from pure knowledge, free from delusion. That is why Shri Samyasarji has clearly stated, "The knowledge and experience of the living being, non-living being, merit, demerit, inflow, restraint, cessation, bondage, and liberation, as they are, is samyaktv."
"The living being, non-living being, merit, demerit, inflow, and bondage; restraint, cessation, liberation, and truth are called the nine substances.
The living being and non-living being do not include those substances; they are special considerations of things, different explanations given by the great sages." - Shrimad Rajchandraji. "Because the world binds with bondage, because it causes liberation, inflow and restraint are the names, respectively, that are heard at the feet of the Lord... Padma Prabhu." - Shri Anandghanji. In this, (1) the living being is the object to be attained, to be grasped, (2-3-4) the inflow...
