CHAPTER 7
X-RAY OF JAINA-MISBELIEVERS
दोहा : इस भवतरुका मूल इक, जानहु मिथ्याभाव ।
. ताकौं करि निर्मूल अब, करिए मोक्ष उपाव ॥ Meaning: Oh! Bhavya sia ! the false belief is to be known as the only root cause of this world-tree (the ocean of transmigration). You should immediately uproot it and must make effort for attaining liberation.
Now such false belief which is found in Jivas who are Jains and obey the commandments of omniscient Jina is being described; because even the slightest trace of this false belief is suicidal; hence even the subtle and latent false belief too must he forsaken.
In Jina's scripture (Agama) descriptions are found from two angles - the one is Nishchaya (the real standpoint) and the other Vyavahara (the unreal and conventional standpoint). In them the real standpoint (Yathartha) is called Nishchaya and the unreal or conventional standpoint (Upachara) is called Vyavahara. Without knowing their real nature people indulge in contrary practices, the same is being described here: The Misbelievers Possessing Wrong Concept of
Nishchaya Many Jivas believe themselves to be the true followers of the path of liberation although they have misconception about Nishchaya and do not know its real nature. They believe as if they have realised the self-soul like Siddhas'. Actually, they are worldly people but due to delusion they believe that they are like Siddhas. This is their wrong conception. 1. Siddha= Non-corporeal omniscient God or liberated soul
