Jina Sutra
There is no knowledge without right faith, No conduct is possible without knowledge,
Without conduct, there is no liberation,
And without liberation, no deliverance.
Mahavira (Uttaradhyayana Sutra, 27/30)
Endowed with conduct and discipline,
Who practices control of self,
Who throws out all his bondage,
He attains eternal peace.
Mahavira (Uttaradhyayana Sutra, 20/52)
Just as a threaded (sasutra) needle is secure from being lost, in the same way a person given to self-study (sasutra) cannot be lost.
Mahavira (Uttaradhyayana, 29/59)
Only that science is great and the best of all sciences, the study of which frees man from all kinds of miseries.
Mahavira (Isibhasiya, 7/1)
That with the help of which we can know the truth,
control the restless mind, and purify the soul is called knowledge.
Mahavira (Mulachara, 5/70)
