Jainism na anusar, ahankaar (अहंकार), arthaat abhimaan ya garv, sadhu-sadhvini sadhana ma ek moto vighn chhe. Ahankaar thi kai kai muni nu patan thayu chhe, tena udaharan Jain sahitya ma malay chhe.

Ek prasiddh udaharan chhe: Jamali Muni nu. Jamali, Bhagwan Mahavir Swami na jamai ane shishya hata. Tyo ahankaar na karane samyak darshan thi vichlit thay gaya hata. Tema ahankaar aavyo ke hu sachi rithe samyak darshan ne samjhu chu, anya karta vadhu. A prakar na ahankaar thi temnu patan thayu ane tyo sangh thi door thai gaya.

Bijun udaharan chhe: Kalkacharya na jeevan ma pan ahankaar ni pariksha aaveli chhe, ane tyo temni bhool samji ne feri pan gaya hata.

Jain agamo anusar, ahankaar thi sadhana ma asuddhi aave chhe ane muni, sadhu ke koi pan sadhak nu patan thayi shake chhe. Ahankaar tyaagna Jain dharma ma khub mahattva chhe.

Taatparya: Jamali muni nu udaharan pramukh chhe, jema ahankaar thi muni nu patan thayu.
