renunciation, only then can you reach that goal.
But from time immemorial, the samsar has been moving in such a direction that nobody asks himself,
,Who am !" but everyone always tries to show off his own wealth or knowledge. The knowledge of people also becomes distorted by wordliness. That distortion destroys all the energy of man. What kind of attitude should one possess? A man must possess the right knowledge, the right faith and the right conduct. The word 'right' is repeatedly used to suggest that knowledge should not be distorted. If you misuse your knowledge, it causes spiritual decline
For instance, the scientists who made the atomic bomb did not lack sense or intelligence ; but they used their knowledge and intelligence for a wrong purpose. Therefore, there should be a restraint on knowledge and its use. The American scientists made nuclear weapons and exploded them in Japan. They exploded them over the cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. The explosion killed thousands and maimed large massess of human beings.
Those who lack a humanitarian attitude cause desruction using their intelligence. They have intelligence and knowledge but they misuse them.
Inspite of our great advances in the sphere of science, we are still unscientific and superstitious. We do not use our sense and intelligence properly. If people used their sense and intelligence properly they would have enjoyed heaven upon earth.
Mahaveer condemned superstition. If people walk in the darkness of superstition, they will not be able to reach their goal. So, they require the right knowledge.
