Aap joki pukar rahe hain, us hisaab se Jain dharma me seedhi si baat yeh hai:

• Jab kisi vyakti ne diksha le kar sanyasi ya sangh ke sadasya bante hain, to aam taur par ve ahimsa, vrat, niyam aur tapas ka palan karte hain. Lekin “diksha ke baad aahar nahi lena” ke bare me koi nishchit, vyakti-vishesh uddhar ya prachin canonical case dharma-shastra me aam roop se milta nahi.
• Kul milakar, diksha ke baad kuch sanyasi upvaas ya tapan (vrat) rakhte hain, par yeh ek samayik aur vrat-palan ki baat hai, na ki sabhi ke liye nirantar vyavahar.
• Sallekhana (santhara) ya antya-tyaag ka vishesh vidhi hai, jo vyakti apni mrityu ki iccha ke sath kaal-khalaas me leta hai. Yeh diksha ke turant baad nahi hota; yeh jeevan ke antim avastha me kiya jata hai.

Agar aap kisi vishesh vyakti ya kahani ki taraf ishara kar rahe hain, to thodi vishesh jankari dein taaki main uske sambandh me sahi, pramanik arth aur sahi sandarbh ke saath batā sakun.
