Yes, I do take resolve in the language I understand. So what's the problem in it. At least I know and understand what is to be done and not to be done.
Answer
There is no problem in taking a resolve in a language you understand, as long as the meaning is correct and your intention is sincere.Explanation
In Jain Dharma, understanding the vow clearly is very important. If you know what should be done and what should not be done, then the purpose of the resolve is being fulfilled.What matters most is:
- Correct meaning
- Clear awareness
- Firm intention
- Faithful practice
The language itself is secondary if it helps you understand the resolve properly.
Spiritual Understanding
Jain discipline is not only about words. It is about:- right knowledge
- right intention
- right conduct
If a person says words without understanding, the inner strength of the resolve becomes weak. But if the resolve is taken in a language you truly understand, then the vow becomes more conscious and meaningful.
At the same time, traditional forms are also respected in Jain Dharma because they preserve accuracy and sanctity.
