“‘Bhagwān ho na ho, par mā̃ mẽ Bhagwān jarūr hotā hai’ – yeh bhāvnā pyaar se boli jātī hai, aur ismẽ mātā ke prati bahut ādar chhupā hotā hai.

Jain dr̥ṣṭi se ise samajhne ka sahi tarīkā:

1. Paramārth se Bhagwān = Arihant / Siddha

- Jain dharm mẽ “Bhagwān” śabd mukhyatā Tīrthankar, Arihant aur Siddha ke liye hai – jinonẽ sab karm kṣīṇ kar diye, jo sampūrṇa keval-jñānī hain. - Is arth mẽ koī bhī saṁsārī jīv (mā̃, pitā, guru, koī bhī) “Bhagwān jaisā” nahī̃ hotā, kyun ki unke karm abhi bāki hote hain.

1. Vyavahār se – Mā̃ bahut śreṣṭh guru hai

- Fir bhī Jain dharm mātā-pitā ko bahut ū̃cchā sthān detā hai. - Mā̃ bacche ko sabse pahle ahiṁsā, satya, śauc, dayā, dharm sikhātī hai. - Is arth mẽ kah sakte hain: “Mā̃ bacche ke liye dharm kā pahlā darpan hai, isliye vah Bhagwān kī tarah adaraṇīya hai.”

1. Sahi samjhautā (balance)

- Paramārth: Bhagwān = vitarāg, keval-jñānī. - Vyavahār: Mā̃ = sabse baḍī upakārī, jeene kā rāsatā sikhāne vālī, isliye use Bhagwān-samān mānkar ādar, sevā, kṛtajñatā rakhni chāhiye. - Par dhyān rahe, mā̃ kī bhakti, Tīrthankar ki sārthak bhakti se alag hai – donon ko milā kar nahi dekhte, balki dono ka alag-alag gaurav mānte hain.

Saral bāt:

• Jain dharm mẽ mātā ko bahut ū̃cchā sthān hai.
• Use “Bhagwān-samān adaraṇīya” mān sakte hain,
• Lekin tattva dr̥ṣṭi se Bhagwān sirf vitarāg Tīrthankar / Siddha hote hain.

Aise samajhne se mātā kā sammān bhī rahtā hai, aur Jain tattva kī śuddhatā bhī.
