Answer

If you truly feel that the oath is not possible to follow now, do not keep failing it again and again. In Jain understanding, a vow should be taken with honesty and capacity. It is better to take a smaller, practical vow than a very strict one you cannot maintain.

Explanation

What you can do now:

• Accept the situation honestly

Do not keep pretending you can follow something that is currently beyond your strength.

• Do alochana and pratikraman

Mentally confess that you were sincere, but the vow became difficult to maintain. Ask for forgiveness with humility.

• Reduce the vow to a manageable level

For example: - instead of “no junk at all,” say “junk only once a week,” or - “no junk on study days,” or - “no Instagram during study hours.”

• Make the vow specific

Vows work best when they are clear and realistic.

• Keep the spirit of restraint

The purpose is self-control, not self-punishment.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, vows are meant to help the soul grow in discipline, awareness, and restraint. A vow taken without proper readiness can become a source of guilt instead of purification. So the right approach is:

• be sincere,
• be humble,
• and choose a vow you can truly uphold.

This is also a form of samyak aacharan — right conduct with honesty.

Takeaway

Do not force an impossible vow. Seek forgiveness, adjust the vow to your real capacity, and continue with steady self-discipline. In Jain life, sincerity is more important than empty strictness.
