Answer

Jain vrat/upvas mein kala manjan se daant saaf karna aam taur par uchit nahi mana jata, khaas kar agar manjan mein sachitt padarth, sugandhit/ras wale padarth, ya jeev-himsa ki sambhavana ho.

Upvas ke din adhik shuddh achar ke liye kai log sirf paani se muh saaf karte hain, ya apne sampraday/guru-parampara ke niyam ke anusaar chalte hain.

Explanation

Jain Dharma mein vrat aur upvas ka uddeshya sirf bhojan tyag nahi, balki:

• indriya-niyantran,
• ras-tyag,
• himsa se bachav,
• aur antar-shuddhi

hota hai.

Kala manjan mein kai baar aise padarth ho sakte hain jo vrat ke niyam ke anukool na hon. Isliye savdhani rakhni chahiye.

Spiritual Understanding

Upvas ke din jitni saralta, sanyam aur saavdhani rakhi jaye, utna vrat ki bhavna shuddh hoti hai. Daant saaf karne ki ichchha swachhta ke liye ho sakti hai, lekin vrat mein padarthon ka upyog maryada ke anusaar hona chahiye.

Takeaway

Surakshit roop se kaha ja sakta hai: Jain upvas mein kala manjan avoid karna behtar hai. Apne ghar ki parampara ya guru-bhagwant se poochkar hi niyam pakka karein.
