Bhagavatī Sūtra ke anusar (aur samanya Jain siddhānt ke anusar) mānasik dukh ka mūl kāraṇ ek hī hai – apne hi bandhā huye karm. Ye dukh koi bahar ka vyakti, paristhiti, ya Parmeshwar nahi deta; hamāre hi pūrva karm aur vartamān bhāva usko janm dete hain.

Bahut sahaj bhāsha me samjhiye:

1. Karm kā uday – asli kāraṇ

- Jīva ne anādi se anant karm bandhe huye hain. - Jab aśātā-vedanīya karma (dukh dene vāle vedanīya karm) ka uday hotā hai, tab - chintā, - udāsī, - dar, - ashānti, - guilt, jaise mānasik dukh anubhav hote hain. - Bhagavatī Sūtra spaṣṭ batātā hai ki dukh us karm ke uday se anubhav hotā hai, sirf uske bandhan se nahi – arthāt karm bandho tab se nahi, balki jab phale tab dukh āta hai.

1. Krodh, mān, māyā, lobh – mansik dukh ke turant kāraṇ

Ye chār kaṣāy jab uttejit hote hain to vah: - man ko jalātā hai, - śānti chin lete hain, - rishte bigāḍ dete hain.

Lekin Jain drishti se ye bhi svatantra kāraṇ nahi, balki - pūrva karm ke uday se hi ye kaṣāy ubharte hain, - phir ye naya karm bandh kar ke bhaviṣya ke dukh ko aur baḍhā dete hain.

1. Rāg–dveṣ (lagāv–dveṣ) – mansik peedā ka mūl bhāv

Bhagavatī aur anya Āgamo me baar-baar batāyā gayā hai: - Jahan “mujhe ye chāhiye, ye hi milnā chahiye” (rāg), - ya “mujhe isse nafrat hai, ye bilkul na ho” (dveṣ), vahān mānasik dukh nishchit hai.

Jab chāhā huā vastu/insān/pariṇām nahi miltā, ya jo napasand hai vah mil jātā hai, to andar hi andar dukh, jalan, asantosh utpann hotā hai. Ye sab rāg–dveṣ se janmā huā mansik dukh hai.

1. Mithyātva (galat drishti) – dukh ko pakḍe rakhne ka kāraṇ

- Jīva jab apne āp ko sirf “śarīr, nām, pad, paisa, sambandh” mān letā hai, - aur atma ko bhūl jātā hai, to jo kuchh in bāhri chīzo me badlāv āta hai, vah use hilā detā hai.

Bhagavatī Sūtra me anek prashn–uttar ke madhyam se samjhāyā hai ki: - Jīva ki ajnānta (mithyātva) aur deh-adhyās ke kāraṇ use dukh lagta hai; - vastav me dukh sirf karma ka udgam aur atma ka anubhav hai.

1. Artadhyān – mansik dukh kā dhyān-rūp

Āgamo (jinme Bhagavatī ki paramparā-jñān bhi āta hai) me Arta-dhyān ko vyaktigat dukh, chintā, pashchātāpa, bhay ādi me uljhe rehne vālā dhyān batāyā gayā hai. - Jab man baar-baar “mera nuksān ho gayā, mere sāth anyāy ho gayā, ab mere sath kya hoga…” is tarah sochtā hai, to vah janswarūp mansik dukh hī hai, jo aśubh bhāv hai aur aur adhik aśubh karm bandhvatā hai.

Saar (Bhagavatī drishti se nishkarsh)

Mānasik dukh ka mūl kāraṇ:

1. Pūrva bandhā huā aśātā-vedanīya karma ka uday.
2. Us uday se utpann kaṣāy (krodh, mān, māyā, lobh).
3. Un se janmā huā rāg–dveṣ aur arta-dhyān.
4. In sab ka mūl mithyātva – apne ko śarīr/pariṇām mānna, atma ko bhūl jānā.

Isliye Jain drishti me: “Mansik dukh kā kartā na koi aur vyakti hai, na Bhagwān; sirf jīva svayam – apne pūrv karm aur vartamān aśubh bhāvo ke dvārā.”

Is dukh se nikalne ka mārg bhi isi me chhipā hai –

• samyak-darshan (sahi drishti),
• krodh-ādi kaṣāyo ki kṣamā se shānti,
• rāg–dveṣ ki chhoot,
• aur śubh–dhyān, dharma-adhyayan, sādhanā se,
