    Rang and dwesh ne jitnar

    12 months ago 80

    “Rāg ane Dveṣh ne jitnār” (Rang and dvesh ne jitnar) means: the one who has conquered attachment (rāga) and aversion (dveṣa). In Jain Dharma, such a soul is called Vītarāga. Arihant Bhagwān/Jina are Vītarāga — they have destroyed these inner enemies and live in perfect equanimity (samata).

    • Rāga = liking, clinging, craving.
    • Dveṣa = dislike, hatred, irritation.
    • Jitnār = conqueror. So, “rāga-dveṣa-jita” = the conqueror of attachment and aversion.

    Spiritual essence:

    • When rāga and dveṣa end, true peace and right conduct blossom. This is the basis of the Vītarāga path that all Jains revere.
    • Both Śvetāmbara and Digambara traditions agree on this meaning: the Arihant is free from rāga–dveṣa and is therefore Vītarāga.

    How to move towards this state in daily life:

    • Practice samayik and pratikraman to reduce likes–dislikes and stay in equanimity.
    • Remember the qualities of Arihant Bhagwān and the Panch Parameshthi; this contemplation weakens passions.

    For a simple overview of Arihant and the Vītarāga ideal: For practicing equanimity (samayik) to lessen rāga–dveṣa:
