Jain dharm ke drishti se kuch baatein samajhna zaroori hai:

1. Gotra ka asli arth (Jain drishti se)

- Jain shastraon mein “gotra” ek karma ka prakaar bhi hai – “Uchch gotra karma” aur “Nichch gotra karma” (izzat–samman ya apmaan se sambandhit). - Samajik roop se log jaati–upjaati, gotra, kul, vansh, gaam, ityadi naam se pahchaan rakhte hain, lekin ye sab vyavahaarik (lokik) pehchaan hai, aatma se iska koi sambandh nahi. - Aatma na purush hai, na स्त्री, na Jain, na Hindu, na Jaroli, na koi aur – aatma shuddh, gyaani, darshi, sukh-svaroop hai.

1. Jaroli gotra / kul ke baare mein

- “Jaroli” adhikatar samajik pehchaan hai – jaise kuch Jain parivaar apne kul/jaati ke roop mein “Jaroli” naam se jane jaate honge. - Pramukh Jain aagamon ya mool granthon mein “Jaroli gotra” ka koi vishesh, siddhantik varnan nahi milta. - Isliye isko samajik parichay ke roop mein hi dekhna chahiye, dharm ka mool tatva is par nirbhar nahi hai.

1. Jain drishti: vyavahaar vs nishchay

- Vyavahaar se: log apna gotra, kul, gaam batate hain – samaajik vivastha, vivaah, pahchaan ke liye. - Nishchay se: moksh ke marg par na jaati chahiye, na gotra, na dhan, na shakti – sirf mithyātva ka vinash, shraddha, gyaan, charitra chahiye. - Mahavir Swami ne sabko ek-samaan aatma maana, kisi bhi jaati–gotra ko adhik ya kam nahi kaha.

1. Dharm ke drishti se kya mahatva rakhe?

- Apne ko Jaroli, Porwal, Oswal, Khandelwal, ityadi jo bhi kahen – dharm ke drishti se mahatva ye hai ki: - himsa kam ho, - jhooth, chori, vyabhichar, parigrah kam ho, - samayik, pratikraman, paanch anuvrat, jinendra bhakti, guru bhakti badhe. - Jo apne kul/gotra ka maan karta hai, use aur bhi adhik sadachar rakhna chahiye, taki us kul ka naam dharm se juda रहे, sirf naam se nahi.

1. Saar nishkarsh

- Jaroli gotra ek lokik parichay hai. - Jain dharm mein mool mahatva aapke charitra, shraddha aur ahimsa-bhav ka hai, na ki janm-se-mili hui jaati ya gotra ka. - Isliye aap apne Jaroli hone par garv karein, lekin us se bhi adhik garv is baat ka ho ki aap Jin-shasan ke maannewale hain aur aatma ki shuddhi ke marg par chal rahe hain.
