    so if the music is low to me and high for somebody, but it is really a low volume, should I lower it if they say it is high or should I refuse?

    Answer

    From a Jain perspective, you should generally lower it if it is disturbing someone, even if it feels low to you.

    Explanation

    In Jain Dharma, the spirit of ahimsa means not causing unnecessary harm, discomfort, or disturbance to others.

    So if:

    • the music is objectively not very loud, but
    • someone still feels it is too high for them,

    then the better Jain response is:

    • listen with consideration
    • adjust if possible
    • avoid insisting on your own view

    It is usually wiser to say:

    • “Let me lower it a little,”
    rather than refuse, unless the other person is being clearly unreasonable.

    Spiritual Understanding

    Jain practice is not only about avoiding physical harm. It also includes:
    • being gentle
    • being considerate
    • reducing irritation in others
    • maintaining peace

    A small act of adjustment can become an act of compassion and self-restraint.

    Takeaway

    If the music bothers someone, and lowering it is possible, lower it with a calm heart. In Jain Dharma, harmony and non-disturbance are more important than proving who is right.
