“Sharir ke ang par chinha se nimit gyaan” jaisi baat adhikatār samudrik shastra / sharirik lakshanon se bhavishya batane se judi hoti hai. Jain dharm ka drishtikon is par thoda alag hai:

1. Jain dharm ka mukhya siddhant

- Atma ka uday karma se hota hai, na ki haath, chehra, ya sharir ke nishaan dekh kar. - Jain shastra samyak darshan, samyak gyaan, samyak charitra se jeevan sudharne ko kehte hain, na ki sharir ke chinh dekh kar bhavishya batane ko.

1. Kahan sharir ke chinh ka ullekh milta hai?

Jain sahitya me sharir ke chinh do jagah par adhik aate hain: - Tirthankar ke lanchhan (chinh): Tirthankar ke janm samay unki jangh par ek vishesh chihna (lanchhan) hota hai – jaise Mahavir Bhagwan ka siṁh (sher) ka chinh. Ye bas pehchaan ke liye hai, “gunnon ka pratik” hai, na ki aam insano ka future batane ka tareeka. Is par seedhi aur achchi jankari yahan mil sakti hai: “Lanchhan – Tirthankar ke vishesh chinh” - Mahapurush ke shubh lakshan: Kuch granthon me “32 shubh lakshan” jaise varnan milte hain, jo ati-uttam purush (jaise Tirthankar, Chakravarti) ke sharir par bataye gaye hain. Ye bhi mahatva/uttam gunnon ka pratik hai, na ki sabke liye daily-life future prediction ka system.

1. Samanya vyakti ke liye Jain drishtikon

- Kisi ke haath, maathe, chehre ke nishaan dekhkar “yeh aisa hoga, waisa hoga” kehna — Jain siddhant ka mukhya marg nahi hai. - Jain dharm ke mutabik, apna bhavishya apne vartaman bhav, vichar, vachan, kriya (soch–bol–karm) se banta hai. - Shubh karm – daya, kshama, daan, tap, swadhyaya – se achha uday banta hai; ashubh karm se dukh ka uday.

1. Nimit gyaan ki sahi samajh (Jain drishti se)

- Kabhi–kabhi koi chhota signal (nimit) dekhkar humein apne karm ka phal yaad aa sakta hai, par vastavik karan phal to karm hi hai, nimit sirf bahana hai. - Sharir ke chinh, sapne, sanket – sab nimit ho sakte hain, par Jain dharm humein karm-siddhant aur swayam-sudhar par dhyan dene ko kehta hai, na ki in chinhon par atki rehne ko.

Saar:

• Tirthankaro ke sharirik chinh (lanchhan) Jain dharm me svikrit aur pavitra vishay hain, par wo unki pehchaan aur gunon ka pratik hain.
• Aam logon ke sharir ke angon par chinh dekhkar “nimit gyaan” se bhavishya batana Jain dharm ka mukhya, pramukh ya aavashyak marg nahi hai. Jain marg ka kendr atma–shuddhi aur karm–shuddhi hai, na ki sharir–chihna adharit jyotish.
