Answer

Pratikraman Avashyak bhi hai aur ek kriya bhi hai.

Lekin Jain Dharma mein iska mukhya roop se sthan Chhah Avashyak mein hai. Isliye Pratikraman ko Avashyak maana jata hai.

Explanation

Jain Dharma mein Chhah Avashyak bataye gaye hain:

• Samayik
• Chauvvisattho / Tirthankar stuti
• Vandan
• Pratikraman
• Kayotsarg
• Pratyakhyan

Inmein Pratikraman ek Avashyak hai.

Pratikraman ka arth hai:

• apne kiye hue paapon, bhoolon aur doshon ko yaad karna,
• unke liye antar se pashchatap karna,
• unse lautna,
• aur bhavishya mein unhe na karne ka sankalp lena.

Jab hum Pratikraman karte hain, to usmein kai kriyaen hoti hain, jaise sutra bolna, vandana, alochana, kayotsarg, pratyakhyan adi. Is arth mein Pratikraman ek dharmik kriya bhi hai.

Spiritual Understanding

Pratikraman ka uddeshya keval bahya kriya karna nahi hai. Iska asli uddeshya hai:

• atma ki shuddhi,
• paap se nivrutti,
• mithya acharan se lautna,
• aur samyak jeevan ki taraf badhna.

Takeaway

Sahi samajh yeh hai:

Pratikraman Jain Dharma ka ek Avashyak hai, aur us Avashyak ko karne ki prakriya ek kriya ke roop mein hoti hai.
