this
spirit of humility that
compose the Grantha. It is paves the way for sublimity.
Acharya Shri Haribhadra soori says, "Oh, Paramatma, whatever say in this work is not mine but yours".
ATTAINMENT OF MOKSHA :
The right faith, the right knowledge and the right conduct constitute the way to moksha. Umaswati has said in the Tatvarthasutra that first of all we should have the right faith in the Paramatma and in his supreme doctrines. They should be accepted with an absolute faith.
Next, we should acquire the right knowledge of the tatvas.
Thirdly, our conduct must be in consonance with those tatvas and we should pursue the path prescribed by those tatvas.
These three gems lead us to moksha.
NOBLE CONDUCT :
Noble conduct is the most essential factor in life. Why is it so? Jnanachar takes the first place and then the spirit of non-violence attains perfection. If we examine our life in the light of knowledge there will be no possibility of our committing errors.
You should not cause agitation to the enlightened people ; nor should you be impolite to them. If you condemn the enlightened people, you will gather a karma wirich will prevent you from acquiring knowledge ; therefore, you should honour and adore the enlightened people. This will make the art of your life beautiful and noble.
Somebody may say, "I do not have any knowledge.
