of Shubhopayoga. The fact that the Shubhopayoga is evolved on disappearance of Ashubhopayoga and Shuddhopayoga is evolved on disappearance of Shubhopayoga. Further, the Dravyalingi Muni is found possessing Shubhopayoga of the highest order but Shuddhopayoga is not evolved, therefore, in reality there exists no cause and effect relationship between Shubhopayoga and Shuddhopayoga. For example, earlier a patient was suffering from intense disease but afterwards disease became less intense (mild), then this mild disease is not the cause of diseaselessness. This much is true that in the state of mild desease if he tries to become diseasless then he can become diseaseless. But, if by knowing the mild disease to be beneficial, he maintains it then how would he become diseaseless? Similarly, a passionate person was having Ashubhopayoga of intense form of passions, later on feeble passions form of Shubhopayoga was evolved, then that Shubhopayoga is not the cause of the evolution of passionless Shuddhopayoga. This much of course, is true that on persistence of Shubhopayoga if he tries for attaining Shuddhopayoga then he can attain it, but, if by knowing Shubhopayoga itself to be beneficial, he maintains it then how would Shuddhopayoga be evolved? Hence, the Shubhopayoga of misbeliever is in no way the cause of Shuddhopayoga, however, assuming that the true believer, found possessed with Shubhopayoga, might in the near future evolve Shuddopayoga - with such understanding, at some places, Shubhopayoga also is stated to be the cause of Shuddhopayoga.

In the aforesaid manner, he believes his soul to be pure and regards such belief to be the right belief and such knowledge to be the right knowledge and conduct based on such thoughts to be the right conduct. In this way, he believes to have attained the real triple jewels (Ratnatraya consisting of right belief, knowledge and conduct). But being devoid of the rational thinking, he believes, knows and thinks himself to be pure although he is presently in impure state - thus deludedly he feels satisfied. Further, he thinks For Private & Personal Use Only
