And Heretics all - Jamāli, Goṣṭhāmāhil, etc,
Even with their false-beliefs calmed,
for their false insistence |
incurred such karmic persistence || 9 ||
8-9. Non-belief in the reals and belief in non-reals, faith in false Prophets, false preceptors and false canons as well as insistence on falsehood and false actions (actions against the teachings of the omniscient Lords like worshipping the false deities, and listening to the false preachings by false preceptors and preaching against the canonical precepts, etc.) is the sign of false-belief and not that of infinitely bonding passions. Sometimes, insistence on false knowledge persists even after such falsehood is overcome. It must be borne in mind that it is not sufficient only to have the right-faith; it is also necessary to act in accordance with it. For many a false beliefed likw Mahā bal and Pitha-Mahāpītha have incurred the pestilence of female rebirths due to such falsehood promoting activities while Jamali and Gosthāmāhil became heretics for the same
reason.
Here, the author again explains the first indicator of right-faith subsidence by saying that it is in the form of subsidence of falsehood and not that of infinitely bnding passions. He also goes on to mention that at times it is possible that even when the false-faith has been completely subsided, it is possible that the faithful may be given to insistence on false knowledge and actions. Such insistence may result in such karmic bondage that may result in female rebirths as is borne out by the examples of the heretics cited above.
