## Karma Granth, Chapter 4: Four Types of False Beliefs
**1. Abhigrahika Mithyatva:** This is the false belief of favoring one doctrine without examining its truth, and then rejecting other doctrines. (21)
**2. Anamihika Mithyatva:** This is the false belief of considering all doctrines equal without examining their truth. (13)
**3. Abhiniveshika Mithyatva:** This is the false belief of clinging to a doctrine even after knowing its falsity. (4)
**Explanation:**
* A Samyaktva (perfectly enlightened being) never favors a doctrine without examining it. Therefore, a person who examines a doctrine and accepts it while rejecting others is not an Abhigrahika.
* A person who claims to be a Jain (Samyaktva) based on mere outward practices without examining the truth is a "Jain" in name only, but in reality, an Abhigrahika Mithyatvi.
* If people who are unable to examine the truth themselves rely on a true teacher (Geetaarth), they should not be considered Abhigrahika Mithyatvi, as relying on a true teacher prevents the possibility of supporting false doctrines. (Dharma Sangrah, p. 10)
**2. Anamihika Mithyatva:**
* This is found in people with weak intellect who are unable to examine the truth. They often say that all religions are equal.
**3. Abhiniveshika Mithyatva:**
* This is not a false belief if someone's faith is reversed due to lack of understanding or a misleading teacher. This is because their faith can be restored by meeting a true teacher.
* However, if someone continues to hold a false belief even after meeting a true teacher, this is Abhiniveshika Mithyatva.
* Although Acharya Siddhasena Divakara, Acharya Jinabhadragani Kshamasraman, etc., have argued for their respective doctrines, they cannot be called Abhiniveshika Mithyatvi. This is because they supported their doctrines based on the unbroken tradition of the scriptures, not out of bias.
* On the other hand, Jamali Gosthamahila, etc., supported their doctrines even though they knew they were contrary to the scriptures. Therefore, they are called Abhiniveshika. (Dharma, p. 40)
