GOMMATASARA.
सम्यग्दृष्टिर्जीव उपदिष्टं प्रवचनं तु श्रद्दधाति । श्रद्दधात्यसद्भावमज्ञायमानो गुरुनियोगात् ॥ २७ ॥
27. The right-believing soul believes in the doctrines as preached (by the Conquerors), but (sometimes) by the instruction of an ignorant teacher he believes in the nature of things as they are not.

Commentary. In this stage there is right belief, but conduct is not yet based on it. Even the vows of a layman are not adopted. He has not vowed to abstain from indulgence in the senses, or from hurting the vitalities of mobile and immobile living beings, although as a right believer he has his heart filled with 1. Compassion (Anukampá) 2. calmness (Prashama), (3) Fear of mundane exis
