Letter 22 Fallacious Beliefs about the Seven Tattvas
(Part 1) Letter 22
September 15, 1995. Dear Reena & Mona,
Blessings & Best Wishes. In last few letters we have seen the general nature of seven Tattvas. Unless we know these seven Tattvas as told by Jinendra Bhagwan and then have Right Belief and knowledge about Swatattva and cognise and experience it, we will not attain Samyak Darshan and without Samyak Darshan one will not have experience of Bliss.
We will get the true and proper teachings or guidance only from the true Deva, Guru, and Shastras. And one gains fallacious guidance or teaching from Kugury, Kudeva and Kushastra. In this way the Jeov acquires fallacious belief and knowledge i.e. Gruhit Mithyatva Teia FETA.
And only when the Jeev leaves them aside and gets true teachings, then only his Mithyatva or fallacious beliefs wane off. This fallacious belief which Jeev has since times immortal is called Agruhit Mithyatva aquesta f la. The wrong or fallacious knowledge and belief about these seven principles is Mithyatva.
The fallacious or wrong belief of the principles in fact means wrong belief this Jeev has about these Tattvas. Because Tattvas themselves do not change their nature, but Jeev himself has wrong notions about them. These Tattvas are the established facts and reality and to have wrong notion about them is the fallacy created in our imagination.
The changes or modifications in the things of this cosmos do not take place as per the ideas and faith of the ignorant Jeev and because of that he is miserable. And to rectify this wrong or fallacious belief arising out of his ideas and imagination regarding the true nature of Tattvas is the only way to relieve him of his miseries.
The fallacious belief about the seven principles means not to accept them as they are but to believe them to be otherwise, which in fact is not their true nature. Each Jeev has this wrong notion about them since times immortal. That is why even though he does not know the true nature of the seven Tattvas yet he is all the time familiar with their fallacious notions.
That is why in Chhahadhala, Pandit Daulatramji and in Mokshamarga Prakashak, Pandit Todarmalji have described the fallacious notions first and then explained the true nature of the Tattvas latter on.
