Jain dharm ke “astitva par khatra” ko do tareeke se samajhna zaroori hai:

1. Tattvik roop se (darshan ke hisaab se)

- Jain dharm ek anadi–anant satya hai – jaisa ki Tirthankar ne bataya hai. - Satya, Tattva, Anekant, Ahimsa, Karma‑siddhant jaise siddhant “mit” nahi sakte. - Is arth me Jain dharm ka astitva kabhi khatm nahi hota, bas kabhi‑kabhi uska pratyaksh prachaar–pracharan kam ho jata hai.

1. Vyavaharik roop se (hamare samay me jo khatre dikhte hain)

Aaj ke samay me khatra dharm se zyaada, hamari dharmik jeevan‑shaili par hai:

(1) Gyan ki kami - Bahut se Jain bachche ko pata hi nahi hota: – Panch mahavrat kya hain? – 9 tattva kya hain? – 6 dravya kya hain? - Jab gyan nahi hoga to shraddha aur acharan dono dheere‑dheere kamzor padte hain.

(2) Sirf bahya dikhawa, antar se kamzori - Mandir jana, puja karna, par vyavahar me: – jhooth, lobh, krodh, dvesh, atyachar chal rahe hain, - To dharm ka antar–saar (Ahimsa, Samyaktva) kamzor pad jata hai. - Isse log kahte hain: “Naam ka Jain, kaam ka nahi.” – ye sabse bada khatra hai.

(3) Bhog–vilas aur business ko sabse upar rakhna - Paisa, status, comfort ke liye koi bhi samjhauta kar lena - Dharm, vrata, tyag, samayik, pratikraman sab “baad me dekhenge” me chala jata hai. - Jab parivaar me dharm ki baat kam hogi, agali peedhi me Jain pehchan kam hoti jayegi.

(4) Parivar aur sanskar ka tootna - Milkar rehne ki parampara kam ho rahi hai, har koi alag‑alag busy hai. - Bachchon ko Jain shala, paathshala, pravachan, granth ki pahunch kam ho rahi hai. - Sanskar jeevit nahi rahenge to dharm naam ka reh jayega, aacharan khatm ho jayega.

(5) Aapas ka bhed–bhav - Gacch, sampraday, panth, Digambar–Shwetambar ke naam par vivaad, ninda. - Jain dharm ka bal ekta se badhta hai, ladai se kam hota hai. - Tirthankar ne kabhi panth–bhed nahi sikhaya; ye to hamari durdrishti hai.

To phir suraksha kaise ho?

1. Apne aap se shuru karein

- Roz kam se kam kuch samay Jain granth, sutra, pravachan ke liye nirdharit karein. - Thoda bhi ho, par niyamit ho – jaise: – Roz 10–15 min samayik ya shant dhyan, – Roz ek chhota sa paath: Navkar, Uvvasaggaharam, Logassa, etc.

1. Bachchon ko Jain pehchan de

- Unko Jain kahaniyan, Tirthankar charitra, vrat–katha, paanch mahavrat, anuvrat sikhaayein. - Sirf “tum Jain ho” kehne se nahi, kyon aur kaise Jain ho – ye samjhana hoga.

1. Vyavahar me Ahimsa aur Satya layein

- Business, job, parivar sab me jitna sambhav ho utni ahimsa, satya, aparigrah ka prayog karein. - Log jab dekhenge ki “Jain matlab imandaar, dayalu, vinamra vyakti” to dharm ka maan badhega.

1. Panth–bhed se upar uthiye

- Digambar–Shwetambar, alag–alag parampara ka samman karte hue, - Mool tattva par dhyan rakhein: ahimsa, samyak darshan–gnan–charitra, moksh marg.

1. Sansthaon ko samarthan

- Jain paathshala, upashray, derasar, gurukul, sangh – jin se shuddh Jain shiksha milti ho, - Unko samay, shram, dhan – jitna ho sake – se sahayata karein.

Ek mahatvapurn baat

Jain granthon me kalchakra (chhe aara) me likha hai ki Pancham kaal me dharm ka bal kam ho jata hai, par poori tarah mit nahi jata.

• Jo log satya Jain marg par chalein, unke liye moksh marg aaj bhi khula hai.
• Isliye “dharm khatam ho jayega” ke dar se zyada, “main apna dharm kitna jee raha hoon” is par dhyan dena chahiye.

Saar:

• Jain dharm ka astitva tattvik roop se surakshit hai.
• Khatra hai hamare gyan, shraddha, aur acharan ki kamzori par.
• Iska upay bhi hamare apne haath me hai – apne jeevan ko dharm–marg par la kar hi hum Jain dharm ko sahi arth me bachate hain.
