In Jain Dharma, diksha is a very sacred and serious step, so if your parents say no, the best way is to respond with vinay, patience, and ahimsa.

You can deal with it like this:

1. Do not argue or rebel

- Jain way is not to hurt the hearts of parents. - Speak softly and respectfully.

1. Understand their concern

- Parents may fear hardship, separation, or your future well-being. - Listen to them calmly.

1. Keep your intention pure

- If your desire for diksha is genuine, keep your mind steady and humble. - In Jain Dharma, inner renunciation begins before outer renunciation.

1. Show maturity through conduct

- Live with discipline, simplicity, truth, and compassion. - Let your behavior reflect that your wish is thoughtful, not impulsive.

1. Seek guidance from a Guru Bhagwant

- A true guru can advise whether your feeling is stable and suitable. - In Jain tradition, initiation should not be done in haste.

1. Be patient

- Sometimes parents soften when they see seriousness, stability, and respect. - Waiting with equanimity is also a form of tapas.

1. Accept their decision without hatred

- If they still say no, do not develop anger or resentment. - Maintain samata and continue spiritual practice as a गृहस्थ with devotion.

In Jain Dharma, true renunciation is not only leaving home; it is first leaving attachment, anger, and ego. So even if diksha is delayed, your spiritual progress can continue through samyak darshan, vrata, seva, swadhyay, and aparigraha.

Most important: never pressure or disobey parents in a harsh way. Use prema, patience, and dharma.
