Answer

It is good that you asked instead of hiding it. During Paryushan, try to gently stop watching such pictures and move your mind toward calmness, forgiveness, and self-control.

You are 14, so sexual feelings can arise naturally at this age. But Jain Dharma teaches us to practice sanyam — self-restraint — especially during sacred days like Paryushan.

What you can do right now

• Close the picture or video immediately.
• Put your phone away for some time.
• Take 10 slow breaths.
• Drink water or wash your face.
• Do Navkar Mantra calmly.
• Go sit near family or in an open place.
• Do something simple: walk, read, study, or help at home.

Explanation

In Jain Dharma, desires are not controlled by hatred toward the body, but by awareness and discipline. Paryushan is a time to reduce passions like attachment, craving, anger, pride, deceit, and greed.

If you made a mistake, do not hate yourself. Instead, do alochana in your heart, ask for forgiveness, and make a fresh resolve:

“I will try to keep my thoughts, words, and actions pure.”

Spiritual Understanding

Self-control is a form of inner strength. Every time you choose restraint over impulse, you reduce attachment and strengthen your soul’s progress.

Takeaway

Do not panic or feel hopeless. Stop now, move away from the trigger, remember Navkar Mantra, and restart with a clean intention. Paryushan is about purification, not guilt.
