Saiyam (self-control) Jain dharmā mā thavānu mukhya mārge chhe. Te kai divas mā ekdam thavānu nathi; te tamāri tapas, bhavna, ane kriyā par nirbhar chhe. Ahiya kai rite samyām madi shake te āvī rite chhe:

• Satya, Ahimsa, Aparigraha, Brahmacharya, Aparigraha jeva paachha mūl vow chhe—āvāne dhārvā Niyām ke Mahavrata maḷī chhe. Te palī, man, ane kāy ne niyantrit kare chhe.
• Dainik pravruttiāo mā samay ane manovṛtti par niyantran: kāy, vāch, man ne sāmye rākhvā, kām-ne-indriyo par niyantran karvā.
• Tapās ane bhāvanā: bhūga, & dharmādhārahīt tapas, prāyāsa, ane kiṁ karvāni yogya dhākhevāṁ thi samyām vadharo chhe.
• Shikāya ane anusandhān: dhyān, bhāvanā, ane sāhitya kartā raho to man ni vṛtti sārī rahe chhe.
• Grihastha maṭe paachha vow chhe (jyāṁ ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacharya, aparigraha), ane ā vowo dhīre dhīre sārya sārya prāpt thaḷe chhe. Aa mārg Digambar ane Shvetāmbar dvārā thodāfar nāmāntar hoy chhe, pan siddhānta samyām vārtā ekaj chhe.

Samay nu kyāriṅkār:

• Saiyam tāmārā karmo par aḷagḷ thaay chhe; dhīre dhīre ane sāru sāru chhe. Tame jāḷo chho ke aapḍā dinchaḍi pravartan ne sakriya rākhvo, tyaare samyām vadhe chhe.
• Vyakti visheshe alag-alag chhe; kai-ne kai ne adhik tapas karvā thi samyām jḷḷe chhe, ane kai ne dheere dheere. A rivāḷa meḷāva maḷe chhe.

Tamaare joye to:

• roz karo: chhota chhota vow follow karvo (satya, ahimsa, etc.) ane indriyo par niyantran no abhyas.
• din bhar niyamon ne bhāvanā sathé jodo, ane je shānti ane samyām maḷe te upar dhyan do.
• ashramā ya guru-sahasro pase thi margdarshan levi reḷvo to samyām ne prāpto karvāmā madad malī shake chhe.

Aapḍā svarūp ni śakti (ātma) sade tāḷe chhe; pratyakṣ atma-samarpan thi āvyu chhe. Anyā janī jhāmbhḍā mane evu lage to āevi shakay chhe, pan sāru pāth purāṇ dharmā māhte chhe: samyām vadhāreto chhe jevo, tevi prāptī hintā chhe.
