7. The interest in non-elemental knowledge is a sign of false-vision and false belief and not that of infinitely bonding passions – anger, pride, deceit and greed. Also, that false inclination results in impropriety and wickedness in one's activities. Here, once again the author tries to emphasize the point that the concepts of right or wrong vision are related to belief in Jina-propounded elements and not to passions.
