    samaysara seven fears

    3 months ago 67

    In Jain teaching, “seven fears” (saptabhaya) usually means the seven worldly fears that arise in a deluded soul. They are commonly understood as:

    1. Ihaloka-bhaya — fear of this world
    2. Paraloka-bhaya — fear of the next world
    3. Marana-bhaya — fear of death
    4. Jivana-bhaya — fear of living / survival
    5. Vedana-bhaya — fear of pain or suffering
    6. Akirti-bhaya — fear of bad reputation or dishonor
    7. Maranantika-bhaya — fear at the time of death, the final fear

    In the spirit of Samayasara, these fears belong to the worldly state of the soul, where attachment and delusion remain. The realized soul, established in pure self-awareness, is free from fear because it does not identify with the body, possessions, or worldly outcomes.

    If you want, I can also give the simple Jain meaning of each fear in one line.
