Jain dharma me himsa ( violence ) ki bhavna ko bol-chal tak me bhi bilkul nahi chalna chahiye. Is liye “kitne shabd” ki baat nahi hoti; asal niyam hai ki har shabd se dusre ko dukh na ho. Isliye:

• Aap ke bolne se kisi ki bhavna, samman ya jeev ki raksha ho, aise shabd nahi bolne chahiye.
• Kharab, apmaan-janak, gussa dilane wale ya kisi ki izzat girane wale shabd se bachna chahiye.
• Sach bolna zaroori hai, lekin bina dukh pahunchaye, dayalu aur madhur bhasha me bolna chahiye.
• Veracity (satya) zaroori hai, par ho sake to ahimsa ki prathanta ke saath bolna achha hota hai; kathor ya nindha bolna parhe to use rokhna chahiye.

Isliye “shabd ki sankhya” se nahi, balki har shabd ki quality se sambandhit hai—har shabd aise hone chahiye ki dusre ko dukh na pohche. Jain dharma me ahimsa paramo dharma hai, isliye bolne ki jagah parhe, soch samajh kar hi bolna chahiye.

Agar aap chahen, main is visay par adhik vistar se upay ya chhote-khote niyam (daily practice) de sakta hoon.
