quivering (agaḍha) is right faith (samyaktva or samyagdarśana), and the disposition to know substances in regard to their worthiness for acceptance (upadeya) or rejection (heya), is right knowledge (samyagjñāna). The external (bahya) causes (nimitta) - instrumental causes - of right faith (samyaktva or samyagdarśana) are the Scripture and the men well-versed in it, and the internal (antaranga) - substantive cause - is the destruction of karmas like the faith-deluding (darśanamohaniya).
3- THE PURE THOUGHT-ACTIVITY
Right faith (samyaktva or samyagdarśana) and right knowledge (samyagjñāna) are the harbingers of liberation (mokṣa), right conduct (samyakcāritra), too, is the harbinger of liberation (mokṣa). I shall describe right conduct (samyakcāritra) from both points-of-view, the real (niscaya) and the empirical (vyavahāra). Right conduct (samyakcāritra) from the empirical (vyavahāra) point-of-view is to observe conventional austerities (vyavahāra tapa - like fasting) and from the real (niscaya) point-of-view it is to observe internal austerities (niscaya tapa - getting established in the pure-soul-substance).
EXPLANATORY NOTE
-
The complete annihilation of all karmic matter bound with the soul is liberation (mokṣa). Faith or 'darśana' - ascertainment of substances - is a characteristic of the soul (ātmā) and when faith becomes right it is called 'samyagdarśana'. Right faith is the cause for the attainment of liberation (mokṣa). Right faith is the subject only of potential (bhavya) souls. Right faith (samyagdarśana) is of two kinds - with-attachment
