    Your honest self-check already shows very healthy “samyak drishti–like” tendencies. Let’s go through what you wrote, in simple Jain terms.

    1. Faith in Jain tattvas (Samyak Darshan angle)
    • You: “My faith is firm and doubt‑free? Yes, while occasional doubts do arise. I don’t shift my belief frequently.”
    • In Jain view, for a samsāri jīva, small doubts or confusions in details are natural. What matters is:
    - Your core trust in Panch Parmeshthi - Your basic conviction in jiva–ajiva, karma, moksha, etc. - Not running behind other mat/panth again and again.
    • From what you said, your base drishti seems quite stable, which is a good sign.
    1. Feeling saṃsār is a trap vs. attraction to pleasures
    • You: “I feel saṃsār is really a trap – yes. Attraction to worldly pleasures – very very very rarely.”
    • Seeing saṃsār as a bandhan, not as a final “goal”, is a key sign of moving toward samkit bhāva.
    • The fact that attraction comes rarely and you still see it as a problem is important – samyak drishti does not mean “no temptation at all”, it means clear understanding that such temptations are not truly beneficial.
    1. Compassion (anukampā, ahiṃsā-bhāva)
    • You: “Is my compassion stable? Yes. Not only sometimes. Even in bad mood I think no one else should go through this.”
    • This is very beautiful.
    • Genuine Jain compassion is: “I am suffering, but may no other jīva suffer like this.” That attitude supports Samyak Charitra and weakens krodh–mān–māyā–lobh.
    • Stable compassion, not mood-based, is a strong spiritual sign.
    1. Shraddhā towards Panch Parmeshthi
    • You: “I naturally bow with deep shraddhā to Arihant, Siddha, Āchārya, Upādhyāya, Sādhu – Yes. It’s not just habit.”
    • Deep, heartfelt vandana of Panch Parmeshthi is directly connected with Samyak Darshan.
    • Tattvārtha-sūtra describes right faith as trust in tattvas and reverence for the true path. Your inner feeling (not just outer ritual) matches that.

    So, do you have “Samyak Drishti” already?

    From the Jain shāstra point of view:

    • Technical Samyak Darshan arises when a certain type of darshan-mohaniya karma gets suppressed or destroyed. That exact state only a Kevali can see fully. So no human can officially “certify” themselves or others.
    • But shastras also speak of signs:
    - Faith in tattvas, - Affection for satsang and sādhu, - Fear/awareness of saṃsār, - Compassion, - Natural devotion to Panch Parmeshthi.

    From your answers, many of these signs are clearly present. This strongly suggests you are moving in the direction of samyak drishti and may already have a very good samkit-bhāva at your level.

    Two gentle cautions (very important spiritually)

    1. Avoid ahankār about “I have samkit”

    - Even if your state is very good, keep the attitude: - “Whatever right view I have is due to Jinvāṇī’s grace and old good karmas; I must protect it with humility.” - Pride about spiritual level can quietly damage that very level.

    1. Keep strengthening, don’t become relaxed

    - Continue: - Daily Namokār with bhaav, - Some samayik / pratikraman, - Swādhyāy on tattvas and anuprekshā (anitya, aśaraṇa, saṃsāra, etc.), - Staying away from wrong beliefs and bad company. - This makes faith more and more niśaṅkita (doubt-free) and sthira (stable).

    In short: Your answers show very promising, pure tendencies as per Jain Dharma. Guard them carefully, keep deepening them, and stay humble. That is exactly the path of Samyak Drishti.
