Jain dharm ke hisaab se “gyaan” swayam kabhi bura nahi hota, lekin galat ya mithyā gyaan aur hinsa / ashubh kaam ke liye istemaal kiya hua gyaan achchha nahi maana jata.

Bahut simple tarah se samjhein:

1. Mithya gyaan (गलत समझ / भ्रम) – bura hai

- “Punya–paap nahi hai”, “atma nahi hai”, “koi phal nahi milta” aisi soch. - Jo gyaan hamein bhatakaye, ahankar, raga‑dvesha, hinsa badhaye – ye mithya gyaan hai.

1. Hinsa badhane wala gyaan – bura hai

- Jaise: kisi ko dukh pahunchane, jeev marne, dhokha dene, lootne, nasha banane, ityadi ke liye technique seekhna. - Aisa gyaan chahe kitna bhi “smart” lage, Jain drishti se ashubh hai.

1. Raga‑dvesha badhane wala gyaan – bura hai

- Jo gyaan sirf irsha, spardha, gussa, lalach, kam vasna badhaye. - Isse karm bandhan badhta hai, atma ka kalyan nahi hota.

1. Jo gyaan samyak darshan, ahimsa, vinay, daya badhaye – wahi “achchha gyaan” hai

- Jain dharm ka lakshya hai samyak jnana – sahi, spasht, ahimsa‑yukt samajh. - Jo bhi vidya atma‑kalyan, niyamit jeevan, sadachar, aur sab jeevon ki raksha sikhaye, vah shubh gyaan hai.

Saar:

• Bura gyaan = jo hinsa, paap, bhram, raga‑dvesha ko badhaye.
• Achchha gyaan = jo samyak darshan, samyak jnana, samyak charitra ki taraf le jaye.

Gyaan ko humesha dharma aur ahimsa ke saath jodkar hi rakhna chahiye – tabhi vah satya mein “achchha gyaan” hai.
