Sub: (SD-01)On Samyak Darshan - Importance and need

for Samyak Darshan
Ref: 4th Sep. 2007.

Question:
One is called gynaani - Knowledgeable one - after the
dawn of Samyak Darshan and together Dharma - TRUTH of
SELF - unfolds in him. Therefore, in the absence of
Samyak Darshan, how his knowledge and conduct be true
/ right?

Answer:
In case Samyak Darshan has not dawned in one, even
though one is proficient in 11 Angas (vitraag Jain
Sacred Scriptures), his knowledge and conduct are said
to be wrong (mithya)only.

It means without Samyak Darshan, 'vrath(vow), Thapasya

(austerities) , 'Bakthi' (dedication) ,'Jaap' (chanting
of manta), 'Pratyaakyaana' (self- restraint), and more
similar conducts are all called as wrong conduct -
