Jainism ke anusar "Maan" ko "pride" ya "ego" ke roop mein jaana jaata hai. Maan ka arth hai apne aap ko doosron se bada samajhna, apni shaan, sammaan, gyaan, dhan, kul, roop ya shakti ka ghamand karna.

Jain dharm ke anusaar, Maan ek Kashaya hai (jo atma ko bandhan mein dalta hai). Chaar pramukh Kashaya hain: Krodh (anger), Maan (pride), Maya (deceit), aur Lobha (greed). Inmein se Maan bhi moksha ke marg mein badha hai.

Isliye, Jain dharm sikhata hai ki Maan (pride) ko tyagna chahiye aur vinamrta (humility) apnani chahiye, taki atma shuddh ho aur moksha ki prapti ho sake.
