Sawal ka matlab hai ki Jain dharm ke log apne yati (monk) se alag kyun hote hain. Seedhi baat yeh hai:

• Yati (sannyasi) Jain dharm mein atikrur tapasya aur sanyaas ki agni ko pakad kar chalte hain. Unke liye panch prajñapti ya mahavratas (5 maha-vratas) ya us se bhi adhik kathin brahmacharya, ahiṃsā (ahimsa) ki anant bhavna, asuchi aur asteya jaise niyam anivary hote hain. Ye log ghar-ghar ke jeevan se alag, sansaarik vastraon, bhukt-bhogi se viprit reh kar, moksha ki aur agrasar hote hain.
• Jain dharm ke yatiyon ki mool soch: keval sadhu-sajjan ki srishti ko jodna, atam-gyan aur keval-arth se upar uthna. Aur yahi baat yatikas (digambar/shwetambar) ke beech thodi bhinnata ke roop mein vyavhaar karti hai.
• Digambar aur Shwetambar ke beech farq: Digambar munis bina vastra ke hote hain (arthaat, nishkam avastha), jabki Shwetambar munis safed vastra pahante hain. Saath hi kuch vyavaharik aur anushasanik farq (jaise alag bhikshu-samudaay ke niyam) dono samudaayon mein milte hain, lekin aadarsh roop se dono ka maksad vidyapath, ahimsa, aur moksha ki or agrasar hona hi hota hai.
• Samajik bhinnata: Bahut log apne jeevan-joor, sanskār ya dharmik parampara ki wajah se in yatiyon ko alag nazar se dekhte hain. Par Jain dharm ke anusar yeh yatiyon ki pehchaan ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacharya, aparigraha jaise niyamon par adharit hai.
