If I see someone naked but I did not feel any sexual desire or attachment is it still a sin it was deliberately for a lau
In Jain dharma, the main bondage is caused by intention, attachment, and passions—especially kāma, rāga, and vikāra.
So:
- If you saw someone naked without lust, attraction, or attachment, the mental sin is much less than if desire arose.
- But deliberately looking at nudity is still not considered ideal in Jain conduct, because it can encourage carelessness, impurity of mind, and violation of modest restraint.
- For monks and nuns, this is a much stricter matter, as complete celibacy and vigilance are required.
- For lay followers, the best conduct is to avoid deliberate exposure and maintain shame, restraint, and purity of thought.
In short: without desire, the karmic fault is lighter; with deliberate intention, it is still not a wholesome act in Jain ethics.
If you want, I can also explain this according to Shwetambar and Digambar viewpoints.
