If I see someone naked but I did not feel any sexual desire or attachment is it still a sin even if it was deliberately strictest answer possible
Strictest Jain answer: If you deliberately looked at a naked person, then for a strict Jain practitioner it is still a fault, even if you did not feel sexual desire at that moment.
Why:
- In Jainism, the main cause of bondage is passion / kashaya like lust, attachment, curiosity, excitement, or carelessness.
- If there was truly no lust, no attachment, and no inner impurity, then the bondage is much less than if desire were present.
- But deliberately placing the mind on nudity is not ideal for a Jain householder, and for a monk or nun it is especially against restraint.
So the strictest answer is:
- No sexual desire: less sin than with desire.
- Deliberate viewing: still not fully clean from fault, especially under strict Jain discipline.
- Accidental seeing: not the same as deliberate looking.
In short: Without desire, the sin is reduced, but deliberate viewing is still considered improper in strict Jain conduct.
If you want the strictest answer for a householder vs. monk/nun, I can give it in that exact form too.
