Jainism ke anusar, manushya janma (मानुष्य जन्म) prapt karna bahut hi durlabh hai. Ye janm karma ke anusar milta hai. Jab tak jeev apne karmon ka bandhan karta hai, tab tak wah chaurasi lakh yoniyon (84 lakh species) mein ghoomta rehta hai. Manushya janma dobara mile ya na mile, ye aapke vartamaan karmon par nirbhar karta hai.

Agar is janm mein shubh karma kiye jaate hain, dharm aur ahimsa ka palan kiya jaata hai, to phir se manushya janma mil sakta hai. Lekin agar paap, ashubh karmon ka bandhan kiya, to jeev narak, tiryanch (pashu-pakshi), dev yoni ya anya yoniyon mein bhi janm le sakta hai.

Isliye Jain dharm mein manushya janma ko bahut mahatvapurn mana gaya hai, kyunki yahi ek avsar hai jismein moksha ki prapti sambhav hai. Aisa koi niyamit niyam nahi ki har bar manushya janm ke baad manushya janm hi milega. Ye sab aapke karmon ke upar nirbhar karta hai.
