Explanation
Dharmachakra Tap ka mool bhav sirf upvaas karna nahi hai. Iska asli uddeshya hai:- Atma-shuddhi
- Indriya-nigrah
- Krodh, maan, maya, lobh ka tyag
- Arihant bhakti
- Dharma mein sthirata
Isliye tap ko keval sharirik niyam ki tarah nahi, balki ek andar se badalne wali sadhana ki tarah kiya jata hai.
Spiritual Understanding
Jain Dharma mein tap ka arth hai icchhaon par vijay. Dharmachakra Tap ka prabhav tabhi gahra hota hai jab:- ahankar kam ho,
- sahishnuta badhe,
- samata bhav aaye,
- aur ahimsa ka palan ho.
Tap ka asli phal punya se zyada atma ki nirmalata hai.
