Then, " Shubha Bhava are worthy of evolving" is the common belief and one gets contented in having these Shubha Bhava. Therefore he believes that Asravas are worthy of having or one should continue having Asravas (i.e. Shubha Bhavas ). He also believes that when one keeps on doing Shubha Raag, one will attain Veetaragata. He means by doing Shubha Raag continuously, at one particular time one can have or evolve Shuddha Bhava. This is another conviction people have. But all these beliefs are fallacious. And these fallacious beliefs are called Mithyatva.
Since this fallacy is in belief, the knowledge acquired and the conduct there after, by following these beliefs is also fallacious. Everyone is trying to improve one's own conduct. But remember, if one keeps on having fallacious beliefs, he can never ever have proper knowledge i.e. Samyak Dnyan and proper conduct i.e. Samyak Charitra.
In fact the path to attain Samyak Darshan is very simple ! Just proper belief i.e. Yathartha Shraddha of true Deva, Guru and Shastra and that of the seven fundamental principles is called Samyak Darshan. In fact both the things are one and the same. You'll wonder how ? Look! Proper belief of Moksha Tattva is proper belief of true Deva, and proper belief of Samvar and Nirjara Tattvas is also proper belief of true Guru. And proper belief of all the seven principles is also proper belief of true Shastra. Because the main purpose of the scriptures i.e. Shastra is to explain the nature of the seven principles and then explain the theory of differentiating Swa Tattva from all the other Tattvas and preach how to attain Veetaragata.
Our biggest folly till today is that instead of considering Asrava Tattva and Bandha Tattva to be Heya i.e. worth renouncing we believed it to be Upadeya i.e. worth taking resort into!
If you remember we had seen two divisions of each Paryay Tattva i.e. Dravya and Bhava. Dravya Asrava, Dravya Bandha, Dravya Samvar, Dravya Nirjara and Dravya Moksha are all states of Karma and Karma is made of Karman Vargana. We have learnt that Karman Vargana is Pudgal; and Pudgal is Paradravya. While studying Ajeev Tattva we had included all Paradravyas in Dnyeya Tattva. But instead of taking them accordingly one thinks that he has to destroy Karmas because the presence of Darshan Mohaniya Karma prevents him from attaining Samyaktva. Otherwise he would have attained Samyaktva long ago!
To believe that I am the doer or destroyer of Karma, or Karma is the creator or destroyer of my Bhavas is also a fallacious belief only. Many people charge or criticise that if we say that Asrava, Bandhas are Heya i.e. worth renouncing and Shubha Bhavas are also Heya then this JEEV
