Getting a human birth is the most fortu nate event and better than, even, gods. This most valuable Birth and life must not be wasted by getting oneself fully engrossed in worldly affairs only and fulfilment of earthly desires of selfish types. The hankering and accumulation of worldly wealth etc. do not give peace and real Bliss. The Highest Ideal or Goal of Man is to attain Moksha-Eternal Happiness, Manhood should not be wasted foolishly, Man can attain the highest in the world and can proceed towards Eternal Bliss only by following the path of the Three Jewels, As explained in Jain scriptures “The Three Jewels” are “Samyak Darshan”, "Samyak Gyan” and “Samyak Charitra," Darshan-means to See to Feel, to Conceive. Suppose a man sees something at a distancethis is the first part; when the object comes nearer the viewer finds or feels that it is a man-this is the second part; after this the viewer comes to know the identity of that man, this is the third part. This is simple Darshan. Samyak-means-detailed Conception-scientific, systematic and rational ( wisdom basing ) Conception, In English it can be translated as Right Conceptionafter Right Conception comes "Right Faith”.
