If u were sleeping and suddenly u were woken up u felt so angry and frustrated and had a thing that o am pressing a neck of someone is it a sin
In Jain dharma, anger and the thought of harming someone are not good. They create pāpa-bhāva and bind bad karma, especially when they arise from krodh (anger), even if no physical harm happens.
But there is an important difference:
- If it was only a sudden thought or feeling after being woken up, and you did not actually act on it, the karma is much less severe than real violence.
- If you knowingly wanted to harm someone or actually tried to do it, that is a stronger sin.
- If it happened in a half-awake, uncontrolled state, Jainism recognizes that the mind was disturbed, so the fault is not the same as deliberate violence.
So, in simple words:
- The thought itself is not good
- The real sin becomes stronger when there is intention and action
- If you did not do anything, confess it in your heart, do pratikraman, and ask forgiveness
A Jain way to respond is:
- become aware of the anger,
- stop the thought,
- say mentally: “Micchāmi Dukkaḍaṃ”,
- calm yourself,
- and practice kṣamā (forgiveness) and samyak smriti (mindfulness).
So: yes, the angry violent thought is spiritually harmful, but if it was only an involuntary thought and no harm was done, it is a lighter fault, not the same as actual violence.
