In Jain Dharma, kashayas are the inner passions that bind the soul, mainly:

• Krodh — anger
• Maan — pride
• Maya — deceit
• Lobh — greed

To eliminate them, Jain practice focuses on purification of the soul through self-discipline and awareness.

Main ways to reduce and destroy kashayas

1. Practice right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct

- This is the core path in Jainism. - When understanding becomes pure, passions weaken.

1. Observe Ahimsa

- Avoid harming any living being in thought, word, or deed. - Non-violence softens the heart and reduces anger.

1. Cultivate forgiveness and humility

- Forgiveness weakens anger. - Humility weakens pride.

1. Practice simplicity and truthfulness

- Straightforward conduct reduces deceit.

1. Reduce attachment and desires

- Contentment helps weaken greed. - Aparigraha is very important.

1. Do regular self-reflection

- Watch your thoughts, speech, and actions. - Notice when kashayas arise and stop them early.

1. Pratikraman

- Repent for faults, seek forgiveness, and resolve not to repeat them. - This is a powerful Jain practice for cleansing the mind.

1. Tapa or austerity

- Fasting, restraint, silence, and other forms of penance help burn inner impurities when done properly.

1. Meditation and equanimity

- Stay calm in praise and blame, joy and sorrow. - Equanimity is one of the strongest remedies for kashayas.

1. Association with the right path and teachings

- Study the Jain scriptures and stay in the company of those who follow the path of non-violence and self-control.

Simple inner method

Whenever a kashaya rises:

• Pause
• Observe
• Do not act immediately
• Replace it with forgiveness, humility, or contentment

In short

Kashayas are not removed in one moment; they are weakened gradually by: self-awareness + restraint + repentance + austerity + equanimity + right conduct

If you want, I can also give this as a step-by-step daily Jain practice for reducing kashayas.
