Jainism ke anusar, diksha lena (monk ya nun ki life apnana) moksha prapt karne ki disha mein ek mahatvapurn kadam hai, lekin kewal diksha lene se hi moksha prapt nahi hota. Moksha prapt karne ke liye atma ko saari karm bandh se mukti paani hoti hai.

Diksha lene ke baad vyakti ko shuddh acharan, samyak gyaan, samyak darshan, aur samyak charitra ka palan karte hue apne karmo ko kshaya karna hota hai. Jab saare ghatiya karmon ka kshay ho jata hai, tab atma moksha (nirvana) prapt karti hai.

Isliye, diksha moksha ki yatra ki shuruaat hai, lekin lagatar tapasya, sadhana, aur shuddh charitra se hi moksha prapt hota hai.
