Jeev ka mishr bhav (mishra bhav ya mithya drishti) ka mukhya kaaran hai avidya (gyaan ki kami) aur kaam-krodh-ka lobh-jaise kaṣayo ki wajah se karma bandhana. Jain dharma ke anusar:

• Jagat aur atma ki asli Svarup ko samajhne ki asangati ya mithya drishti avatar ki hai. Jab hum atma ko anya vastuon se alag, anadi, anadi-anuprakashit (nirvikalpa) samajhte hain, to humare man, vach aur karm ki urja ghalat disha leta hai.
• Kaṣayo (krodh/raudra, mana, lobh, maya, dwesha, matsarya) manav pravṛtti ko prabhavit karte hain, jisse karm kendra ban'ta hai aur jeev ko bandhan me phansane lagta hai.
• Is karm ka fal hi dharmik bhav ko ghataata hai ya doosre roop me janm-janmantar me punah-punhar karm banata hai. Isliye mishr bhav se mukti ke liye avijña (avidya) ko dur karna zaroori hai.

Moksha ki or badhne ke liye Jain path ke teen mool upaya (trinetrik upaya) mahatvapurn hain:

• Samyak Darshan: atma ki satya svarup ko pehchaan na ki ye sab maya hai.
• Samyak Jnana: Jain dharma ki siddhant-gyan ko samajhna.
• Samyak Charitra: satya, ahimsa, aparigrah, astey, vrat aur tapas jaisi sadachariyon ko apnaana.

Iske alawa kuch vishesha mudde:

• Digambar aur Shvetambar ke beech kuch vyakhyaon mein antar ho sakta hai ki mishr bhav ka varnana kaise kiya jaye, par mukhya arth dono me seadhik milta hai: avidya aur kaṣayo se hi atma ki pravrtti ghalat disha leti hai.
• Antarik sankat, prayatna aur pratikraman (apology/kaṣāy saṁkṣep) ke madhyam se man, vach, karman ki sahi disha me sudhar kiya ja sakta hai.

Agar aap chahen to main is vishay par Jain scriptures se shuddh arth (arth) ke saath kuch pramukh sutron ka sankshipt vyakhya ya sutttext de sakta hoon.
