    So affection is a genuine love towards ur parents if its free from the ego no or yes

    3 hrs ago 4

    Yes — if affection is free from ego, attachment, expectation, and possessiveness, it is closer to pure love in Jain understanding.

    In Jain Dharma, the highest value is vatsalya with karuṇā and niḥsvārtha bhāva — love that is respectful, selfless, and without “I” and “mine.” If your affection for your parents is:

    • free from ego,
    • free from selfish desire,
    • free from control or possession,
    • and expressed with respect and service,

    then it is good and wholesome.

    But Jainism also teaches that even loving attachment to family should not become rāga or moha. So the purest form is:

    • love with gratitude
    • service without pride
    • care without bondage

    So the simple answer is: Yes, when affection is ego-free and non-possessive, it is genuine and morally proper in Jain thought.
