Four Organs Of Right-vision -
PREFACE: LIX
There are four well-defined organs of Right-vision. They are
1. Acquaintance with the ultimate meaning and aim of life (Paramartha-samstava) that includes a sense of deep devotion to the right path, its propounding Prophets and the preceptors that propagate it,
2. Visible practice of activities that lead to the ultimate goal like devotion and worship of the right faith and its propounding Prophets and preceptors (Sudrsta Paramartha-sevanā),
3. Shunning the company of those of corrupted vision (Vyapanna-varjana) and
4. Not following the precepts of the false faiths (Kudarsanavarjana) are the four limbs of right-vision.
The wholesome right-vision has all these limbs intact. If any of these is not intact such vision can, at best, be only lame or mutilated.
Samyaktva or the right-belief has the following eight attributes and their corresponding flaws: "
1 1. Uttaradhyayanasūtra, 28.31.
2. Śramṇapratikramaṇasūtra, 6.
3. Pākṣikādi Aticāra, 2.
