Answer

In Jain Dharma, money getting stuck can generally be understood as the result of Antarāya Karma.

Explanation

Antarāya Karma means obstructing karma. It creates obstacles in receiving, using, enjoying, or benefiting from things.

When money is due to come but gets delayed, blocked, or stuck, it may be connected with Lābhāntarāya Karma.

Lābhāntarāya Karma is a type of Antarāya Karma that obstructs gain or benefit.

Examples may include:

• Money not coming on time
• Payment getting delayed
• Expected profit not being received
• Opportunities for income getting blocked

Spiritual Understanding

Jain Dharma teaches that such situations are not merely external problems. They may be connected with karmic obstacles created by past actions, especially actions where one may have obstructed others’ gain, charity, livelihood, or rightful benefit.

However, one should not blame karma alone. Jain Dharma also encourages:

• Right effort
• Honest conduct
• Patience
• Non-attachment
• Charity according to capacity

Takeaway

Money getting stuck is mainly associated with Antarāya Karma, especially Lābhāntarāya Karma, which obstructs gain or benefit.
