Samayasāra
Chapter - 8 mülatattvas or the primary categories of truth while the others are derived by their combination and separation. Right conduct is conditioned by right belief and right knowledge. Austerities, discipline and self-restraint constitute the right conduct. The whole Jain code of moral and spiritual virtues is inspired by the one great principle of non-violence (ahimsā). Right conduct should be uninfluenced by desire or aversion. These three elements constituting the path are the three jewels. According to the transcendental aspectultimate point of view, all the three elements have reference to self and self alone. First, it implies the belief in the ultimate nature of pure self i.e., the belief that emancipated soul (paramātmā) is nothing but pure and perfect self. Secondly, full knowledge of self and its direct experience lead to the knowledge of all other tattvas centering round the self. And lastly self-realisation itself is cāritra par excellence. Thus, Self is knowledge. Self is faith, and Self is conduct; Self is abstinence and Self is the stoppage of karmic flow (samvara).
