The fourth transgression differs from the fifth in as much as the former means secretly thinking admiringly of wrong believers, whereas the latter means announcing the praise of wrong believers loudly. Banarasi Dasa in his N takasamayas ra, (13-38) has given the following list of transgressions of right faith:
Fear of public censure Attachment towards worldly pleasures Thinking of attainment of worldly pleasures in the next birth Praise of false scriptures Service of wrong believers.
2.6 The eight limbs of Sammatta: The firmness of an aspirant's belief is indicated by the following eight qualities, which are essential characteristics of Samyagdar ana. All these characteristics together make the faith complete and effective.
Nissamkiya (nis amkita): absence of doubt the variety of the tenets propounded by the Jina in part or as whole. The right believer, because of this quality, is free from the seven fears of
This world Another world Death Pain Accident Absence of protector and Absence of forts, etc. 14
This shows a state of complete fearlessness, which is obviously necessary for a moral life.
