please explain anays ekarma and anayase karma
Answer
In Jain Dharma, the terms you wrote seem to refer to:
- Anāśrava Karma / Anāśrava — stopping the inflow of karma
- Anāyāsa Karma — actions done effortlessly or casually, depending on context
However, “anays ekarma” and “anayase karma” are not standard spellings in commonly used Jain terminology. If you mean a specific Gujarati/Hindi term or a phrase from a pravachan, please share the exact spelling or context.
Explanation
1. Anāśrava
In Jain philosophy, āsrava means the inflow of karmic particles into the soul due to activities of body, speech, and mind, especially when accompanied by passions like anger, pride, deceit, and greed.
Anāśrava means preventing or stopping this inflow.
This is done through:
- Right faith
- Right knowledge
- Right conduct
- Control of mind, speech, and body
- Carefulness in daily living
- Reduction of passions
- Practice of vows, samiti, gupti, and self-discipline
So, Anāśrava is not a type of karma. It is the spiritual condition or practice by which new karma is prevented from binding to the soul.
2. Anāyāsa Karma
The word anāyāsa generally means “without effort,” “easily,” or “casually.”
If someone says anāyāse karma, it may mean karma or action that happens casually, unintentionally, or without deliberate effort. But in Jain Dharma, even unintended activity may still have karmic effect depending on:
- Intention
- Awareness
- Carelessness or carefulness
- Presence or absence of passions
- Harm caused to living beings
For example, accidentally harming tiny living beings while walking is different from intentionally harming them. The karmic bondage is much stronger when there is intention, passion, cruelty, or negligence.
Spiritual Understanding
Jain Dharma teaches that karma is not only about outward action. The inner state is very important.
- An action done with anger, ego, deceit, or greed binds stronger karma.
- An action done with awareness, compassion, and restraint reduces karmic bondage.
- Spiritual practice aims to stop new karma through saṃvara and shed old karma through nirjarā.
Takeaway
If you meant Anāśrava, it means stopping the inflow of karma. If you meant Anāyāse karma, it generally means action done casually or without deliberate effort, but its karmic result depends on intention, awareness, and passions.
