Jain dharma me jeev ko narak (naraka) jana ya nahi jana, yeh karmo ke phalo par nirbhar hai. Narak ko hum “dukhprapt sthano” ki duniya samajh sakte hain, jo karmon ke badalte bhav me aate hain. Isliye hamein narak se bachne ke liye sahi rahe ki or badhna chahiye.

Kyunki narak ki prakriya karmo se judi hai, yahan kuch mool tareeke hain jinse jeev narak ke karm se bach sakta hai:

• Ahinsha (ahimsa) ka palan: bina hinsa ke jeev jiv ke prati satark, dayalu, aur karuna bhav rakhein.
• Satya ki aagya: sacha bolna, jhooth se bachna.
• Aparigrah (asangat-vyavaharan): adhik vastru ya dhan ki bhaag-daur me vyavahar kam karna, ashirvaad se vardhan.
• Acha vishvash ya acharan: chori, jhootha, ya anyay se door rehna.
• Brahmacharya ya subsilangik niyamon ki palan (jeevan ki sthiti anusar): yeh svakriya ke roop me anukul ho.
• Prayas (bhav-tran) aur samayika: din-rachna me samayik, atma-chetna, aur dhyan-bhav ko apnaana.
• Daya, maitri, aur sadaiv sewa: doosron ki madad, aur aparigraha ki bhavna ko majboot karna.

Yeh sabhi tareeke samyak-darsana, samyak-jnana, samyak-charitra (triveni marg) ke madhyam se jeev ki atma ko pavitra banane me madad karte hain, jisse karmo ki pichhle bhaag-daur kam hote hain aur narak ki sambhaavna kam hoti hai.

Digambar aur Shwetambar paramparaon me kuch vyakhya ya sthalon par alag arth ho sakte hain, par mukhya drishti yehi hai ki narak ek real lok hai jahan ke dukh karmo ke phal ke roop me milte hain, lekin sadhana aur vivek se in karmo ko kam kiya ja sakta hai.

Agar aap chahte hain, main aapke liye is vishay par sahi arth aur pramukh sutro ka saar-sankshipt roop pesh kar sakta hoon, ya aapke liye kuch udyam (path) batata hoon jo narak se bachne me madad kare.
