Swädhyay is for getting rid of false views, acquiring the right knowledge about what is right and wrong, and understanding the art of living and getting inspiration to put it in practice. Ächärya Umäsväti in 'Prasham-rati' 112 "One should make a continuous and zealous effort with the mind, body and speech to study spiritual scriptures, ponder over them, contemplate on Soul and then discuss and teach others." Acharya Amitagati "Without the light that comes from study it is impossible to rid oneself of the darkness of ignorance." JAIN PHILOSOPHY AND PRACTICE - 2
