Answer

Chhat Attham Tap Jain Dharma ka ek tapasya-prakar hai.

Isme sadhak aam taur par:

• Chhat = 6 upvas
• Attham = 8 upvas

ka sankalp karta hai.

Yaani, Chhat Tap mein 6 din tak upvas kiya jata hai, aur Attham Tap mein 8 din tak upvas kiya jata hai.

Explanation

Jain Dharma mein upvas ka arth sirf bhojan na karna nahi hai. Iska mukhya uddeshya hai:

• indriyon par niyantran
• kashayon — krodh, maan, maya, lobh — ko kam karna
• atma-chintan
• paap karmon ki nirjara
• dharm-dhyan aur samayik-pratikraman mein vruddhi

Chhat aur Attham jaise tap sharir ko kasht dene ke liye nahi, balki atma ki shuddhi ke liye kiye jate hain.

Spiritual Understanding

Jain Dharma ke anusaar tap se karmon ki nirjara hoti hai. Jab vyakti bhakti, samata, vinay aur shuddh bhav se tap karta hai, tab vah apni atma ke kareeb aata hai.

Tap karte samay ahankar nahi hona chahiye — jaise “maine itna bada tap kiya.” Sahi tap wahi hai jo namrata, samata aur shuddh bhav ke saath kiya jaye.

Takeaway

Chhat Tap = 6 upvas
Attham Tap = 8 upvas

Inka uddeshya sharirik kasht nahi, balki atma-shuddhi, sanyam aur karm-nirjara hai.
