Uttam Tyag Dharm ka matlab hai sabse uchit/param-tyag: aankhon dekhi duniya se man, vastra, arth, aur adhiḍhārvik moh ya bhav-bikramaa ko chhod kar puri tarah se brahmachary aur samyak niyamon ke saath renunciation (tyag) ki avastha ko apnaana.

Arth (sahaj spasht) Jain dharm ke sandarbh me:

• Tyag ka mool kendra hai aparigraha (anakshya-sangrah ki ichha se van chhodna ya arjan ki ichha ko kam karna) aur man, bhav, kriya me bhi nishkamata laana.
• Uttam Tyag ya “param tyag” ka arth hai aise tyag ko apnaana jo keval vastuon ki matra chhoda dene se adhik hai; yeh antar-yaam ya bahri dikhava nahi balki man ki shuddhta, lakshya-madhyastha (moksha ki or) badti hui aatmasambandhi pravriti hai.
• Jains ke mahavrataon (five great vows) me tyag aparigrah ke roop me prakat hota hai: arthik aur bhavik jaam ko kam karna, krodh-vikaar se bachna, aur atma-samarthan ke liye external suvidhaon ki avashyakta ko kam rakhna.

Digambar vs Shwetambar me spashtata:

• Dono nikayo me uttam tyag ko parama shuddh aur mahatvapoorna maana jata hai, par monk-varg ke liye poori tarah ki sanyasa (sarva vastra-vastra tyag, sabhi arthik niyamon se mukti) ki avashyakta hoti hai; layak jeevan me bhi aparigraha ki anushasan hota hai, lekin grihasth-ashram me “parigraha” ki seema vyavasthit roop se alag hoti hai.
• Samanya roop se dono param tyag ki avadharana ko, man ki shuddhta, lobha, maanasik bandhanon se mukti, aur moksha ki oor badhne ke madhyam ke roop me samarthan deti hain.

Vyavahar me Uttam Tyag kaise laagu ho:

• Aapke day-to-day jeevan me zarurat se jyada vastru, paisa, ya aishwarya ki ichha ko kam karna.
• Krodh, jale hasi, jhooth, ya anya papon ki bhavanaon par niyantran rakhna; apekshaon ke bina dusron ki bhavnaon aur swatantrata ka samman.
• Sanyasi ya sanyasini ke raaste par chal rahe log (monk-nun) ke liye poore niyam se tyag ki avashyakta hoti hai; grihasth ke liye bhi aparigraha aur santosh ki aabhaar ki bhavna hoti hai.

Agar aap chahen to main is vishay par “uttam tyag dharm” ke sandarbh me Jain sutron/stotrho ka asli shabd (arth ke saath) ya dono traditions ki vyakhya bhi kusth-tatha (Digambar/Shwetambar) ke roop me de sakta hoon.
