________________ 14. "Micchadamsanarattaa saniyaanaa u himsagaa. la je maranti jiivaa tesim puna dullahaabohim."(14) Those who are not free from delusion, false faith, violence and the desire for material gains from spiritual endeavour are extremely unlikely to attain enlightened perception in their next life. 15. "Na vi tam karei aggii ne a visam kihna sappo a. Jam kunai mahaadosam tivvam jiivassa micchattam."(15) Severe delusion harms the soul far more severely, intensely and lastingly than fire, poison or a black cobra. 16. "Samanovaasayenam sammattassa pancha aiyaaraa peyaalaa jaaniyavvaa na samaachariyavvaa..."(16) It is important to know the five possible mistakes in the enlightened perception of a layman but one should not commit those mistakes! 17. "Chauvviisatthayenam damsanavisoem janayai."(17) One may attain purity of perception by worship and adoration of the 24 Tirthankaras {fordmakers). 18. "Paramatthasanthavo vaa, suditthaparamattha sevanaa vaa vi. Vaavannakudansana vajjanaa ima sammatta saddahanaa."(18) Do this to ensure the purity and unblemished state of your enlightened perception: Worship the true nature of reality; learn from those who have realised the true nature of reality and stay away from delusional faiths whose perception and conduct are flawed. 330
