Šatra 4 |
Inhibition, Palling off and Emancipation
85
(Note) In this sūtra, the nature of right faith is defined as the conviction of the truthfulness of the truth, propounded by the Omniscient Lord. Truth is the object of right faith. The omniscient knows the truth directly and propounds it to the world at large, who accepts the validity of the omniscient's perception as a matter of faith. The ultimate verification of the faith is possible only for a person who eradicates his karmic bondage and attains omniscience. In Jainism, as in other Indian schools of thought, faith or firm conviction is considered the starting point of the religious discipline. This faith finds its verification at the highest spiritual state called kaivalya in Jainism, viveka-khyāti in Sāmkhya-Yoga and bodhi in Buddhism. No Indian school of thought believes in blind faith that is not subject to verification by any means. In the sutra under discussion tattva or truth is defined in its ontological aspect.

(Aph.) (Right faith is of five kinds, viz.) 1: due to subsidence (of the relevant karman); 2. due to destruction (of the relevant karman); 3. due to subsidence-com-destruction (of the relevant karman), 4. due to residual tasting (of the right faith); and 5. due to enjoyment (of the relevant karman). (IV)
(Gloss) Right faith is of five kinds. (Right faith) 'due to subsidence' occurs on the subsidence of the four anantānubandhi (passions that cause endless transmigration) and the three categories of attitude
