SAMYAK DARSHAN - THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS DHARMA

A thousand mile journey begins with the first step. Likewise, the journey to moksha begins with the attainment of  right faith. Understanding this is very important because it is regarded as a first step to the path of Dharma and  Moksha. Samyak Darshan or Right Belief is very commonly used by almost all Jains and a popular term to indicate one’s belief in Jain Philosophy. However, this is also a concept which is most commonly misunderstood by many Jains except a few of them who have really applied their mind to understand it. Some think that to be a Jain or follow basic Jain conduct is having Samyak Darshan, while some others believe that to follow a particular Guru, sect, certain religious practices or read certain scriptures automatically mean Samyak Darshan. In brief, every follower of Jain Religion has one’s own view about right belief. It is a cap which everyone wants to wear it without knowing what it really means. Moreover, some people have even total dislike for others if they do not follow his or her own concept of Samyak Darshan and there are acrimonious debates over the subject without knowing the reality. One group takes pleasure in declaring the other person as having false belief or Mithya Darshan.
