all right, isn't it?

I answered, I will give you an example and then you yourself decide whether it is right or wrong. Suppose you are moving around in a garden hand in hand with a lady who is not your wife. And your wife finds out about it. If you tell your wife don't worry, I was all the while imagining that I was holding your hand. Will your wife agree with you?

Acharya Kundkund says, "Any person who follows, bows or praises Kudev, Kuguru or Kushastra out of fear, hope, love, greed, etc. will attain Nigod Paryayi.e. minute form of living being in future."
Not only people who believe and worship Kudev and or Adev are having wrong belief about nature of God and principles, i.e. Tattva but also those who worship Ishwar or Veetaragi Sarvadnya with some ulterior motive or desire to get worldly pleasures, and possessions, or to get rid of illness are also to be blamed for having 'Wrong Belief' i.e. Mithyatva fr. This happens because they have not understood the nature of true Ishwar and have fallacious beliefs about him.
Here we have to bear in mind that even people who have attained Samyak Dnyan i.e. self realisation pray and worship Ishwar in difficulties. But they do not do so with the belief that God will save them from these difficulties, but they do so because even in these times they should not be engrossed in foul thoughts and passions like fear, anger, sorrow etc.
To believe that Ishwar is the creator and destroyer, that he has desires, he is the saviour of mankind and there is no other way than his wishes or desires, is ignorance i.e. Adnyan and Wrong Belief. And it arises because one does not know the nature of true Ishwar.
After knowing the nature of true Ishwar if one worships Arihant, Siddha who are totally devoid of passions then he automatically starts looking towards or thinking about the nature of one's, eternal pure soul.
This knowledge of inherently all the time pure nature of one's true self and experiencing it is the true worship of Ishwar.
know that I have mentioned many new words in this letter which you may not comprehend fully; but have patience- after few more letters when I begin to address this subject from the fundamentals, all of this will be easier.
O.K., until we meet again in the next letter.
With love.
