L ife is death without right perception. This birth is purposeless without right faith. As an electrical instrument is useless without electricity, similarly all activities and behaviour seem useless without right perception. Not only this right perception is the root of Jain culture. In Indian philosophy also feet are worshipped because of good conduct. This right conduct & worship of right conduct makes a worshipper, venerable.
As adornment of a dead person is ridiculous, similarly all religious activities are more ostentation without right perception.
