Here is the Jain view on Kashaya (passions) and how to have no Kashaya.

What are Kashaya (five passions)

• Moha = Delusion (wrong understanding or ignorance)
• Ahṛkroda (Krodha) = Anger or wrath
• Mana = Pride or ego
• Lobha = Greed or attachment
• Maya = Deceit or deceitful conduct (also interpreted as deceit/cheatfulness)

Why Kashaya arise (causes)

• Mithyajna (wrong belief) and improper right faith
• Attachment to transient things (worldly bonds, possessions, status)
• Ignorance about true self (atman) and karmic law
• Environment and company that inflame emotions
• Lack of discipline in thoughts, speech, and conduct

What is “no Kashaya” (Kashaya-free state)

• A state where the mind is free from these five passions.
• Attained by steady practice of Jain path: right faith (samyak darshan), right knowledge (samyak jnana), and right conduct (samyak charitra) plus regular spiritual disciplines.

Key ways to reduce and prevent Kashaya

• Samyaktva: cultivate right belief about self, karma, and liberation.
• Samayika: daily period of equanimity and self-restraint.
• Pratikraman: confession and remorse for faults, with sincere vow to improve.
• Five vows (non-violence, truth, non-stealing, celibacy, non-attachment) and further austerities as one’s state allows.
• Mindfulness of thoughts, speech, and actions; reflection on karmic consequences.
• Association with spiritually strong, disciplined company; regular study of Jain scriptures to strengthen understanding of the self and karma.
• Practice of detachment and seva (service) to reduce ego and attachments.

Notes on tradition

• All major Jain traditions recognize these five passions, though some texts or teachers may describe them with slightly different wording or emphasis. The essential idea remains: these are the inner qualities that bind the soul to samsara, and overcoming them leads toward kevala (omniscience) and liberation.

If you’d like, I can summarize a specific Jain sutra or stotra that discusses Kashaya and no Kashaya, with the traditional meaning (arth) in a clear, simple form.
