According to the Chlamiṣvatrā, there is a distinction between different aspects of nature. Humans and the other intelligent species are considered a "partially flawed" creation, as they can drift away from the ''lillamurḍhyā'': this is considered a weakness and something that humans have to actively avoid during their entire life.<br/> | According to the Chlamiṣvatrā, there is a distinction between different aspects of nature.

Focal point of the "learning from who harmonically lives without evil" is the exhortation to humans not to waste materials as humans can't stop accumulating things far more than necessary. The path to keep the state of ''lillamurḍhyā'' happens by the means of three important qualities called ''lailādumbhāšanai'' (sg. ''lailādumbhāšanah'', lit. "that which brings to a well-lived life"): self-restraint (''demitadmālas''), moral discipline (''nailīglidaranah''), and knowledge (''tarlā''). | Focal point of the "learning from who harmonically lives without evil" is the exhortation to humans not to waste materials as humans can't stop accumulating things far more than necessary.
