Swa-daya kya hai?

“Swa-daya” ka seedha arth hai apne upar daya rakhna – lekin Jain dharm ke anusaar iska matlab sirf “apne ko khush rakhna” nahi, balki apni atma par sahi drishti rakhna aur apne aap ko uchhit disha dena hai.

1. Jain drishti se “daya”

Jain dharm mein daya ka mool arth hai: “kisī ko dukh na dena aur jo dukh mein ho uski sahayata karna (jitna ho sake)”

Yehi siddhant jab apni atma par lagate hain, to banta hai swa-daya.

2. Swa-daya ka matlab kya–kya ho sakta hai?

Jain dharm ke sandarbh mein swa-daya ka roop kuchh is tarah samajh sakte hain:

1. Paap se bachne ki daya

- Jo karm hamari atma ko bandh dete hain, unse door rehna. - jhoot, chori, hinsā, krodh, maan, maya, lobh se bachna. - Jab hum paap se bachte hain, to asal mein apni atma par daya kar rahe hote hain.

1. Achhi aadaton ko apnana

- Namokar mantra, pratikraman, swadhyay, dhyan, maitri-bhav rakhna. - Ye sab atma ko pavitra banane wale karm hain. - Isko bhi swa-daya kaha ja sakta hai – kyunki ham apni atma ko ucha bana rahe hain.

1. Apne aap ko anavashyak dukh na dena

- Bina soche-samjhe apne aap ko dosh dete rehna, hamesha guilt me rehna, apne upar atyachar karna – ye Jain drishti se sahi swa-daya nahi hai. - Apni galti ko shanti se dekhna, use svikar karna, prashchit lena aur sudharna – ye swa-daya ka sahi roop hai.

1. Atma ko samajhna

- Apne aap ko sirf sharir, naam, rishton se na jodna. - “Main shuddh atma hoon, mera swarup gyaan-darshan ka hai” – is bhaav ko badhana bhi atma par sabse badi daya hai.

3. Swa-daya aur swarth mein farq

• Swarth: sirf apni ichchha poori karna, chahe dusron ko dukh ho.
• Swa-daya: apni atma ko upar uthana, paap se bachna, paron ko dukh diye bina

apna kalyan karna.

Isliye Jain dharm ke hisaab se, swa-daya ka arth hai – apni atma ke kalyan ke liye sahi marg par chalna, paap se bachna, punya ko badhana, aur apne aap ke prati komalta aur zimmedari rakhna.
