Jain dharma ke anusar ek bund pani me jeevon ki sankhya nishchit nahi hoti. Woh bahut hi anant / anek asankhya sukshma jeev hote hain, jo aankh se dikhte nahi.

Isliye Jain parampra me pani ko bhi saavdhanī se lena, chhan kar peena, aur anavashyak hinsa se bachna bataya gaya hai.

Saral shabdon me:

• Ek bund pani me asankhya jeev hote hain
• Unhe aam drishti se dekhna sambhav nahi hota
• Isi karan jal-jivon ki hinsa se bachne ka updesh diya gaya hai

Jain drishti se pani ka upyog bhi ahimsa-bhavana ke saath karna chahiye.
