Five kinds of false belief

Jay Jinendra

A true perception of reality entails avoidance of the five kinds of fasle belief and results in a rational understanding of life, uncoloured by passions and uncluttered by emotion.

Five kinds of false belief:
1, Ekanta Mithyatva - A substance has several aspects. To accept only one and ignore the others is Ekanta Mithyatva, or partial perception of reality.

2. Viparita Mithyatva - Considering falsehood to be the truth, considering night to be say and vice versa, is known as Viparita Mithyatva, or reverse perception of reality.

3. Vinaya Mithyatva - Worshiping all gods and all religions and unquestioningly accepting all dogma to be correct is Vinaya Mithyatva, or indiscriminate perception of reality.

4. Samshaya Mithyatva - Doubting the teachings of the omniscient Jinas is Samshaya Mithyatva, or doubtful perception of reality.

5. Ajnana Mithyatva - Acceptance of dogma without application of mind is Ajnana Mithyatva, or unwise perception of reality.

Wish you a Gud Day
