Answer

Abhi hum Avasarpiṇī kāl ke 5ve charan mein hain.

Is 5ve charan ko Jain Dharma mein Duḥṣamā kāl kaha jata hai.

Explanation

Jain kāl-chakra ke anusār samay do bhāgon mein chalta hai:

• Utsarpiṇī – unnati ka kāl
• Avasarpiṇī – avanati ka kāl

Har ek mein 6-6 charan hote hain. Vartamān samay Avasarpiṇī ka hai, aur uska 5va charan Duḥṣamā chal raha hai.

Spiritual Understanding

Duḥṣamā kāl mein dharma, āyu, sharīrik shakti, sukh aur ācharan ki shuddhi dheere-dheere kam hoti hai. Isliye Jain Dharma mein is samay samyak darshan, samyak jñān, samyak chāritra, ahimsā, sanyam aur tapasya ka abhyās bahut mahatvapūrṇ mana gaya hai.

Takeaway

Abhi ka samay Avasarpiṇī ka 5va charan — Duḥṣamā kāl hai, jisme dharma-sādhanā ko aur adhik jagrukta se karna chahiye.
