Jainism ke anusar, sansaar (ye jagat, rishton, sampatti, vishayon adi) se moh (attachment ya aasakti) ka rishta hi bandhan ka kaaran hai. Jab hum kisi vyakti, vastu, ya rishton se "mera" ya "main" ka bhaav rakhte hain—chahe vo dost ho, parivaar ho, ya anya koi—vah moh kehlata hai.

Yadi aap man ko halka karne ke liye dost ya parivaar ka sahara lete hain, to vah bhi ek prakaar ka moh hai, kyunki aap us sambandh se sukh ya shanti prapt karne ki aasha rakhte hain. Jain dharm ke anusar, sahi drishti (samyak darshan) yeh hai ki hum sabhi rishton ko samayik drishti se dekhen—ye sab sansaarik hain aur anitya (asthir) hain. Jinendra Bhagwan ne mohon ka tyaag karne, aur samta mein rehne ki shiksha di hai.

Ant mein, sansaarik rishton se man ko shanti milti hai ya halka lagta hai, to vah moh ka sambandh zarur hai. Moksha prapt karne ke liye iss moh ko dheere-dheere tyaag karna avashyak hai.
