Answer

In Jain Dharma, you should give higher preference to good conduct and pure karma than only to daily puja or archana.

Explanation

• Daily puja/archana is important because it brings devotion, discipline, humility, and remembrance of the Tirthankars.
• But puja alone is not enough if our daily life is not filled with:

- Ahimsa - Truth - Non-attachment - Self-control - Compassion - Right conduct

So the best path is:

• Do puja with sincerity
• Live with good karma and purity in action

If one has to choose priority, then Jain Dharma places greater value on:

• inner purity
• right conduct
• reduction of attachment and anger
• behavior that avoids harm

Spiritual Understanding

Puja is a supportive practice. It helps the mind become शांत, श्रद्धालु, and focused on the soul and the path of liberation.

But the real spiritual progress happens when puja is reflected in life:

• less anger
• less greed
• less ego
• less violence in thought, word, and deed

So, in Jain understanding, puja should inspire good karma, and good karma should make puja meaningful.

Takeaway

Do not choose one and reject the other. Daily puja gives inner support, but good karma and right conduct are the higher priority in Jain Dharma. The ideal is to practice both together, with purity and sincerity.
