Pratikraman sutak ke dauran kar sakte hain ya nahi? Jain dharm ke drashtikon se – haan, bilkul kar sakte hain, aur karna chahiye.

1. Jain drashti se “sutak” kya hai?

• Shuddhi–ashuddhi atma ke kashāy se hoti hai (krodh, mān, māyā, lobh, hiṁsā se),

janm–mrityu jaise sharirik ghatna se nahi.

• Isliye mool Jain āgamon me sutak/ashauch jaisi pabandī se dharm-kriyā rokne ka siddhant nahi milta. ( jainknowledge.com)

2. Sutak ke dauran kaun–kaun se dharm-kārya bilkul uchit hain?

Birth ho ya death, dono sthitiyon me:

• Pratikraman (daily, pakkhi, samvatsari sab)
• Samayik
• Navkār mantra, Jap
• Swādhyāy (granth padhna/sunna)
• Chaityavandan, mandir darshan (agar pariwarik parampara rok na rahi ho)

In sab par sutak ki wajah se koi Jain-dharmik manaī nahi hai. ( jainknowledge.com)

3. Digambar – Shvetambar dono me kya sthiti hai?

• Dono paramparāoṅ ka tattvārth yahi hai ki:

- Ashuddhi kashāy se hoti hai, janm–mrityu se nahi. - Sādhu–sādhviyāṅ to har paristhiti me pratikraman, samayik, swādhyāy jaise ātmā-bhāv kārya chhodte hi nahi.

• Kuchh lokīya (samājik) rīti–rivāj alag–alag ho sakte hain

(jaise: kuchh ghar 2–3 din mandir nahin jāte), lekin ghar par pratikraman/samayik karne par dono paksh me koī scriptural rok nahi.

4. Vyavhār me kaise karein?

• Agar ghar me bade log sutak ko bahut sakhti se mānte hon:

- Aap apne kamre me shānti se pratikraman kar sakte hain. - Ucchā-svar se pāṭh na karein, tāki kisi ko asuvidhā na ho.

• Lekin andar–hi–andar Navkār, pratikraman nu alochanā-pāṭh, pāpaguruto sochna–karna kabhi “mana” nahi ho sakta, kyunki ye to śuddh bhāv hai.

5. Mukhya baat yaad rakhein

• Sutak ke chalte pratikraman chhod dena – Jain drashti se galat hai.
• Janm–mrityu jaisi paristhitiyoṅ me to aur adhik dharm-bhāvnā, pratikraman, jāp karna hi saadhak ka kartavya hai,

kyunki tab moh, shok, krodh jaise kashāy ka zyada uchchhvas hota hai.
