Diksha ki ichchha bahut pavitra hai. Isko sambhal‑kar, samajh‑kar aage badhnaa zaroori hai. Jain dharm ke hisaab se aapko kuchh steps follow karne chahiye:

1. Pehle andar se pakka nischay

- Kya aapka mann sach‑much sansar se virakt hai, ya sirf temporary problem, dukh, ya gusse ki wajah se aisa lag raha hai? - Bar‑bar socho: “Main kya chahta/chahti hoon – sirf shanti, ya moksh ka asli marg?”

1. Jain dharm ka ghehra adhyayan

- Tirthankar Bhagwan, Acharya, Muni‑Sadhviyo ki jeevan kahaniyan padho. - 12 bhavanao, 5 mahavrat, sadhu‑sadhvi ka daily niyam, tyag, tapas – in sab ko achchhe se samjho. - Monastic life sirf kapde badalne ka naam nahi, poori zindagi ke har pal ka badlav hai.

1. Apni parampara (Digambar / Shwetambar) ke guru ko dhundo

- Aap jis panth se ho (Digambar / Shwetambar), usi ke koi pramanik acharya / guru / sadhvi se milo. - Unko apni ichchha batao, sach‑sach: - aapki umar, - aapki family situation, - aapke andar ki virakti. - Vahi aapko batayenge ki aap abhi tayyar ho ya aur tayyari chahiye.

1. Ghar‑parivaar se khule mann se baat

- Jain dharm me ahimsa ka matlab emotional ahimsa bhi hai. - Maa‑baap ko dhire‑dhire samjhao: - aapka nischay, - diksha ka matlab, - aap kya chhodna chahte ho, - kya paana chahte ho (atma ki shuddhi, moksh ka marg). - Unki chinta, aansu, dar – sab ko samman do. Chilana, dhamki dena, ghar se bhaagna Jain marg nahi hai.

1. Guru aur parivaar, dono ki rajniti se

- Aksar diksha tab di jaati hai jab: - guru ko lagta hai ke aap andar se pakke ho, - aur parivaar kam se kam itna tayyar ho ki zabardasti ka ahsaas na ho. - Bohot se acharya is baat par zor dete hain ki maa‑baap ke hriday ko kuchal‑kar diksha lena uchit nahi.

1. Jeewan‑shaili se sabit karo ki aap mumukshu ho

- Dheere‑dheere ye sab apnao: - jhoot chhodna, - anavashyak kharch, vyasan, attachment kam karna, - niyamit pratikraman, paath, swadhyay, - chaupahaar, upvaas, poshadh, ityadi jitna ho sake. - Jab guru aur parivaar dono dekhte hain ki aapka jeevan hi badal gaya hai, to aapki baat ko zyada gambhirta se liya jaata hai.

1. Dono paramparao ka saar (Digambar / Shwetambar)

- Digambar: - muniraj ke liye atyant kathor tyag, vastra‑tyag, bahut kathin niyam. - isliye bohot gahri tayyari, guru‑parampara, aur parivaar ki tayaari zaroori hoti hai. - Shwetambar: - vastra safed, bahu‑sankhya samuday, alag‑alag gaddiyo ke apne niyam. - Dono me mukhya baat ek hi: sansar se sampoorn virag aur mahavraton ki puri palana.

1. Ghur‑se bhaag kar ya gusse me diksha sochna uchit nahi

- Agar dukh, depresssion, break‑up, paise ki tension, ya ghar ki ladai ki wajah se aapko diksha acchi lag rahi ho, to pehle in sab se alag ho kar socho. - Jain acharya log hamesha dekhte hain ki aapka nischay sthir hai ya nahi.

1. Practical step

- Apne najdeek ke Jain derasar / sangh me pucho: - kaunse sadhu/sadhvi/acharya aapki parampara ke hain, - kab pravachan ya chaturmas me aaspaas rukte hain. - Unse milkar, unki sharan me baithkar, dhire‑dhire unke margdarshan me aage badho.

Aap is vishay par aur gehra, Jain drishti se likha hua padna chahein to yahan dekh sakte hain: “Why diksha only” “i want to take jain diksha but i do not know how to convince my parents what to do”

Dheere‑dheere, samyak darshan, samyak gyan aur samyak charitra ki ore badhna hi sahi Jain marg hai. Diksha tabhi lena, jab guru aur antar‑atma, dono ek hi baat kahen: “Ab samay aa gaya hai.”
