Jain Dharma me karma ka arth hai jeev ke saath judne wali sukshma dravya-varg ki bandhan shakti, jo bhav, vichar, vaani aur kriya ke through aakar aatma se chipak jaati hai.

Saral shabdon me:

• Achhe ya bure karm humari chetna, krodh, lobh, maya, ahankar aur kriyaon se bandhते hain.
• Ye karm aatma ko janm-maran ke chakra me bandh dete hain.
• Jab tak karma ka bandhan hai, tab tak aatma ki shuddh mukti nahi hoti.

Jain drishti se karma 2 prakar se samjha jaata hai:

1. Bhav karma — man ke bhav, vishay, kashaya
2. Dravya karma — sukshma pudgal jo aatma se bandh jaata hai

Isliye Jain dharma ka lakshya hai:

• Ahimsa
• Satya
• Aparigraha
• Samyam
• Tap

ke dwara naye karm ko rokna aur purane karm ko nash karna.

Agar chaho, main Jain dharma ke 8 karmon ka bhi saral varnan kar sakta hoon.
