SUTRA 1
सम्यग्दर्शनज्ञानचारित्राणि मोक्षमार्गः ॥ १ ॥ . Samyag darshana jnana charitrani moksa margah (1) - The notion which path leads to the optimal unfold
ing of our consciousness (samyag darshana) - knowledge that makes us recognize and understand this unfolding of consciousness (samyag jnana) and - the manifestation of these insights in action (sam
yag charitra) are the path to liberation. (1)
Three factors need to act in concert to enable the dynamic unfoldment of our consciousness and the experience of new, more comprehensive levels of life:
1 - The notion which path leads to the optimal un
folding of our consciousness (samyag darshana) is the ability to intuitively choose from the innumerable alternatives of daily life the one optimal action that opens up new, expansive and more interesting levels of experience and understanding within us.
This intuitive ability to find our path to inner growth is no mystic faculty we need to train tediously through esoteric techniques, but nothing other than a special feature of our perception that is called darshana in Sanskrit.
