what then should i do
In Jain Dharma, the simplest path is:
- Practice Ahimsa — avoid harming any जीव in thought, speech, or action.
- Speak Satya — be truthful, but gentle and beneficial.
- Live Aparigraha — reduce attachment, greed, and unnecessary possession.
- Do आत्म-निरीक्षण — watch your thoughts and emotions carefully.
- Pratikraman — repent for mistakes, forgive others, and resolve to सुधारना.
- Serve with compassion — help all living beings with humility.
- Follow the path of Ratnatraya — right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct.
If you are confused, begin with one small step: today, do less harm, say less harshly, and desire less.
This is a very Jain way to move forward.
