2. To believe that the omniscient lord
takes morsels of food, suffers from diseases, and afflictions, keeps clothes, utensils, etc , and comprehends the objects serially but not all atonce. To believe virtue (Punya) i.e., auspicious activities and Nimitta
as cause of piety. Q. 141. Define sansaya Mithyatva (Doubtful belief.)
Believing(an object) in two ways, contrary to each other, such as "Whether this is the true aspect of religion or that is the true aspect of religion”, is called "Sansaya Mithyatva”. For example, (i) whether soul is the doer of its own deed or it is the doer of the deeds of other substances (ii) Whether piety (religion) will be there by reliance on Nimittas and virtuous activities (observing of vows etc.) or by reliance
on his own pure self etc. Q. 142. Define Ajnan Mithyatva (Ignorance)
That (belief ), in which the wisdom of discriminating what is beneficial and what is not beneficial is not at all found, is called “Ajnan Mithyatva" For example:To believe in killing of beasts and sinful conduct as to be the piety (religion).
