PATII OF LIBERATION
(213) The desired result is attained when there is a harmony between right knowledge and right conduct, for a chariot does not move by one wheel. This is like a lame man and a blind man come together in a forest and manage to reach the town with the help of one another.
(b) the three jewels 'understood from the standpoint of niścaya-naya (real view-point).
(214) The self is characterised by right faith and right knowledge is merely an assertion (by vyavahāranaya). In reality what transcends all points of view is said to be the Self (Samayasāra)
(215) From practical point of view faith, knowledge and conduct should always be cherished by saints.But they must know that from real point of view these three are the self.
(216) It is said from the real point of view that, the soul who comprises all the three together, and does not act otherwise or depart from this even in the slightest degree, follows the path of Liberation.
(217) Right faith means a soul engrossed in itself; Right knowledge is knowledge of the real (nature of the soul; Right conduct consists in faithful pursuit of that path.
