Jain dharma ke anusar dukh ka sabse bada karan hai man/kasmaāyo (kasāya) ka pravahi hona—yaani man, iisā ke roop me krodh, lobh, māna, moha (māyā) aur matsarya jaise pashchaatpadon ki bhavnaon ka sanchalan, jo karm ko janam-dharma me bandh banata hai aur dukh, vipatti, paap-punya ke chakr ko janm-darjanm me chalata hai.

Iska saar:

• Kasāya (kāshā) yaindh prakriti se jo karm bante hain, unhi se dukh hota hai.
• Agyāna (asatya-bhāvanā ya right vision/true understanding ki kami) bhi samsar ke dukhon ko badhata hai.
• Jain marg ke anusaran se in pashchaato ko niyantrit karke karm ka bandhan kam kiya ja sakta hai, jisse moksha ki aur pragati hoti hai.

Dhyan rahe:

• Digambar aur Shwetambar sampradāy me is vishay par kuch vyavaharik vyakhyaen alag ho sakti hain, lekin mool siddhant ki dhaara—kasāyaon ke bandhan se dukh hota hai—ek saath rehti hai.

Agar chaho, To main is vishay par chhavi-pustak ya prakrit Jain shlok/arth ke roop me adhik spasht vyakhya de sakta/ sakti hoon.
