them. But instead to attain a stage, where they will not arise in you at all is the right solution to it. Therefore to get rid of the root cause i.e. Mithyatva, is the only solution.
In terms of Karma theory the Ekdesh absence i.e. partial absence of the Bandha is Nirjara. One who has misunderstanding about the true nature of Bandha Tattva will not be able to understand the true nature of Nirjara Tattva. One who believes that the Bandha or bondage of Punya Karma is the cause of pleasure then he thinks that the way to attain Nirjara is painful.
Jeev becomes unhappy due to the fruits of the Karmas which he had bonded in earlier times. But Jeev considers other substances to be the cause of unhappiness and then tries to get rid of the substances instead. But does not do anything to get rid of the Karmas themselves. And in this fashion due to the wrong fallacious belief of Nirjara Tattva Jeev continues to remain miserable. Fallacious Beliefs about Moksha Tattva :
Moksha means total Bliss without any anxiety, it is infinite pleasure; total absence of Karmas, state of purity of Atma to the fullest extent. And manifestations of all the infinite attributes of Atma to their fullest capacity is Moksha. Since Mithya Drishti Jeev does not have the knowledge of true Bliss, he considers that, to get pleasures through his five sensory organs and his mind is the real happiness or Bliss. In fact, he wants to enjoy many different things or substances. But Atma can only know them. Atma can not acquire or abandon other substances.
He constantly wishes to acquire or get rid of some thing or other and thereby constantly has anxiety. If by chance some wish is fulfilled he believes he is happy; but at the same time or Samay there is anxiety because a new wish or desire emerges. Veetaragata which is total absence of any kind of desire is a peaceful state without any anxiety.
Ignorant Jeev considers enjoyment through sensory organs to be true pleasure or Bliss; and expects that similar kind of pleasure will be available in Moksha. This is the fallacy about the Moksha Tattva.
Many a people ask the question as to what one does after attaining Moksha ? And if one does not have to do anything then what is the fun if you don't or can't do anything there?
This Jeev does not understand the nature of Bandha Tattva. And since he does not realise that misery is due to Karma Bandha and unless and until there is total absence of Karmas one can not be totally happy or have Bliss. Or in other words because he has fallacious belief of Moksha Tattva and considers the objects or substances other than himself and unfavourable circumstances to be the cause of his miseries, this Jeev
