Wrong Belief- Right Belief (Gujarati Dadavani September-1998)

What must be the beginning of this world? Has our Soul become impure? If yes, how can we make it pure? Who can make our Soul pure? Even after listening & following various ways & means, we are still unable to get any relief. What must be the form of 'Wrong Belief'? We believe our 'Name' to be our real self and hence we are unable to recognize our true self which that of 'Pure Soul'. 'I am Chandulal' (reader to substitute his/her own name), 'I am this lady's husband', I am these children's father', 'I am good', 'I am their uncle', 'I am a lawyer’, we have countless such beliefs, don't we? All these beliefs put together results in deluded world view and are called 'Wrong Beliefs'. These beliefs itself are cause of our bondage. One comes into the 'Right Belief' of 'I am Pure Soul' by the grace of a Gnani Purush and this results in 'Enlightened view; Right vision', it is then that one starts experiencing freedom.
