    Jain monks nowadays have a lot if fights within themselves. They don’t cooperate how to allow someone to take diksha if they themselves behave like this

    In Jain Dharma, diksha should be given according to shastra, vinaya, and the suitability of the aspirant, not according to the personal disputes of some monks.

    A few important points:

    • One should not judge the entire path by the faults of some individuals.
    • If some monks have conflict or lack cooperation, that is their personal weakness, not the fault of diksha itself.
    • The decision to give diksha should be based on:
    - proper knowledge of Jain principles - discipline and eligibility of the candidate - guidance from a worthy, grounded, and sincere guru - observance of ahimsa, satya, aparigraha, and vinaya

    In Jain view, saintly conduct is the real standard. If a person is truly fit for diksha, then his or her diksha should not be denied just because some monks behave poorly. At the same time, it is important to seek the guidance of a stable and authentic sangh and not be influenced by faction, ego, or conflict.

    So the correct approach is:

    • do not stop diksha because of the bad conduct of some monks,
    • but do ensure that diksha is given properly, sincerely, and according to Jain maryada.

    This keeps the dignity of Jain Dharma intact.
