People use the word ‘mithyatva’ loosely, but no one has
ever explained to them what it really means. Mithyatva is nothing
but these wrong beliefs. It is not mithyatva to wear fashionable
clothes or to get married. The wrong beliefs are the only
mithyatva and when one acquires the right belief, it is called
samyak darshan or samyaktva (enlightened world-view; true
understanding). The belief, through which one can ‘see’ the
Soul, is samyak darshan.
There is a need to acquire the enlightened view. The
enlightened view occurs when all these wrong beliefs are
destroyed and the right belief is established. This is when one
can see the world exactly as it is.
Until now you were not even aware that all your beliefs
were wrong. Until now your belief was that ‘I am Chandulal’.
But all these are mere adjustments, temporary adjustments only.
“All these relatives are temporary adjustments and ‘You’
are permanent.” But you do not have the awareness of the
permanent yet.
