Karma ki nirjara ya karmo ki joṛi (khānsi) hatane ki prakriya Jain dharm me do mukhya pehlu se hoti hai:

• Samvara ( naye karmon ko jaam lagna rokhna): Yani jo karm hum se lagte hain, unhe aur banne na dena. Iske liye shaadi, parivar, bhojan, vyavahar, aur aacharan me anuvrata (5pecially lay ke liye) ya satsang me niyam apnaye jate hain. Isse nayi karmon ki ghat utpann hoti hai hi nahi.

• Nirjara ( purane karmon ki chhutti ya ghatao): Yahan aata hai ki purane karmon ko dhire-dhire tod diya jaye. Nirjara ki mukhya pratikriya dhyaan se, tapas se, aur annya tapasak kriyaon se hoti hai. Isme shuddha sadhanaen shamil hoti hain:

- Tapas: vrat, upvas, bhavashuddhi (man ki shuddhi), and anushashan (sankalpa bade sankalp) ki practise. - Prayaschitta (paschatapi) ki kriyaen: paap ki pachhatap aur kshama-prarthana, dosh jaankari, dukha-dhyan, sandhyakale upasheva. - Shuddhi ki bhavna aur laabhdhar: ahimsa, satya, aparigraha, brahmacharya jaise yatharth anushashan. - Samyak jnana, samyak darshana, samyak charitra ki dincharya: yeh karmon ki asymmetry ko kam karte hain aur purani karmon ki adhikarta ko kam karte hain.

• Digambar aur Shvetambar me antar: nirjara ki vyakhya aur prakriya par dono dharmik paramparaon me vishesh dhyaan diya jata hai, lekin abhinna granthon me kuch chhote pharak mil sakte hain. Do not have to be worried; dono me mukhya siddhant wahi hain: karmon ki rok-tok (samvara) aur karm ki ghata (nirjara) ki prakriyaen.

• Mool artha (arth): Nirjara ka mool uddeshya atma ki antar-atmasakthi ko badhava dena hai, taaki atma ko sukh-pavitrata mil sake. Isse atma ko abhibhavi karmon se mukt hone ki aur aage ke janm me dukh ki ghat hoti hai.

Agar aap chahein, to main is vishay par adhik saar (aur adhik sahi arth) Jain granthon se pramanit roop me aur spasht roop se samjha sakta/ sakti hoon.
