Jain dharm mein paap ka hisaab sankhya se nahi, bhaav (nirjat) aur ahimsa ki bhavna par nirbhar karta hai. Lakdi jalane se seedhe kaun sa paap lagta hai, iska koi nirdharit numbers (jaise “paap ke number”) nahi diya gaya hai. Rahe baat:

• Paap tab hi badhta hai jab hum jeev (living beings) ko aniyamit roop se ya bina jarurat ke chot pahunchate hain. Lakdi ajiva hai (jeev nahi), lekin lakdi ki jad ya usme rehne wale micro-organisms, ki mamuli chot ya jhanjhat ho to woh karm ko trigger kar sakte hain.
• Jo log jeevon ki hani ke liye jarurat se zyada ya anarthak roop se lakdi jalate hain, unhe adhik paap lag sakta hai. Parantu agar jeevon ki zaroorat ke liye ya jalne ki jarurat ho (jaise thanday mein garam hona, khana pakana), to paap ki bhavna kam hoti hai.
• Karan ki bhavna (iradā) bahut maayne rakhti hai. Daya, jarurat aur saamajik nishtha (responsibility) ko dhyan mein rakhkar, ahimsa ki sadhana ki ja sakti hai.

Saanp-saadharan tips (saral upay):

• Isliye jitna ho sake, anavashyak nuksan se bachne ki koshish karein (jaise sustainable fuel ya bijli ka upyog).
• Jitna ho sake, prakriti ke prati dayalu rahen; lakdi ya anya saamagri ko zaroorat se kam hi jalayein.
• Agar jalana pade, to soch samajh kar aur kam se kam jeevon ko nuksan pahunchane ki bhavna ke saath karein.

Agar aap chahein to main is vishay par Digambar aur Swetambar kalpana ke antar (nuksan aur arth) ko bhi saral shabdon mein samjha sakta hoon.
