Bhay kitne prakar ka hai

Jain dharma ke anusaar bhaya (fear) ko vyapak roop se do prakar ka maana ja sakta hai:

1. Bāhya bhaya — bahar se utpann hone wala bhaya

- jaise rog ka darr, mrityu ka darr, nuksan ka darr, shatru ka darr

1. Ābhyantar bhaya — man ke andar se utpann hone wala bhaya

- jaise anishchay, asuraksha, moha, chinta, aur antar-man ki kamzori

Saral bhav se, bhaya ko anek prakar ka bhi kaha ja sakta hai, kyunki uske karan alag-alag hote hain; lekin mool roop se ise bahari aur antarik — in do bhaagon mein samjha ja sakta hai.

Jain drishti mein bhaya ka mool kaaran aksar moha, asakti, aur avidya maana gaya hai. Iska upaay hai vairagya, samyak drishti, aur ahimsa bhavna.
