Bhagavatī Sūtra (भगवती सूत्र) ke anusar mansik dukh (मानसिक दुःख) ka mūl kāraṇ bahar ke log, paristhiti ya bhagya nahi, balki apne hi asuddh bhāv hote hain. Isko bahut saral shabdon me samjhein:

1. Rāg – Dwesh (आसक्ति aur घृणा)

- Kisi se atyadhik moh, lālacha, ya pakad → jab waisa na mile to dukh. - Kisi se nafrat, virodh, badla ki bhaavna → man hamesha usi mein jalta hai.

1. Mithyātva (गलत drishti / soch)

- Aatma ko sharir, paisa, rishton se ek samajhna. - Sukha ko sirf bahari cheezon me dhoondhna. Jab ye cheezen badalti hain, toot ti hain, to mann dukhi ho jata hai, kyunki humne unko “mera sab kuch” maan liya tha.

1. Krodh, Mān, Māyā, Lobh (चार kashāy)

Inko hi Jain dharm me dukh ke bade kāraṇ bataya gaya hai: - Krodh (gussa) – man ko turant jala deta hai. - Mān (ahankār) – log respect na dein to dukh. - Māyā (chal, kapat) – hamesha dar rehta hai sach pakda na jaye. - Lobh (lalach) – kitna bhi mile, kam lagta hai, isiliye antar se kabhi santosh nahi.

1. Pichhle karmo ka uday (कर्म उदय)

Bhagavatī Sūtra me baar‑baar bataya gaya hai ki: - Jo dukh hamare samne aata hai, vah karm uday se aata hai. - Lekin us dukh ko hum kitna “bada” bana lete hain, yah hamare vartamān bhāv (soch, drishti) par nirbhar hai. Sahi samyak drishti se wahi paristhiti itna dukh nahi deti.

1. Asayyam / Avirati (अनियमित, apramanit jeevan)

- Jab jeev apne man, vachan, kaya par niyantran nahi rakhta, - Bina soche bolta, karta, khata, dekhta, sunta, to dheere‑dheere mansik ashanti, pachhtava, chinta badhne lagte hain – ye bhi mansik dukh ka karan hai.

Saar (Bhagavatī Sūtra ki drishti se): Mansik dukh ka mūl kāraṇ hai:

• andar ke kashāy (krodh, mān, māyā, lobh),
• mithyā drishti (galat soch – aatma ko bhool kar sharir/sansar ko sab kuch maana),
• aur unse judi hui karm bandh aur karm uday.

Iska upāy bhi wahi bataya gaya hai:

• samyak darshan (sahi drishti),
• sayyam (niyantran),
• pratikraman, dhyān, aur bhavon ki shuddhi.

Yahi sab mansik dukh ko dheere‑dheere kam karke ant me shānti deta hai.
