We hear that one shall not engage in act of sins. Unless we know, what causes it, we are not able to avoid it or reduce it. Even as a true follower of Bhagwan Mahaveer, we have to condemn such sins. Jainism categorizes such sins in eighteen 18 heads. Let us study them
First five are- Violence, Untruth, Theft, Abrama & Possessiveness
depicted as below image. Abrama means absent from relationships.

depicted as below image. Abrama means absent from relationships.
Theft is not uncommon. One can easily read or heard theft even at religious places, temples or trusts. No doubt it is a bigger crime and sin than theft done to quench the stomach hunger by a lay man.
Next thirteen------ 13 sins are-Anger, Arrogance, Deceit, Greed, Attachment, Hate, Quarrel, Accusation, Gossip, Criticism, Like and Dislike, Malice and Wrong faith. We have to give up all those sins.
Let us check Hindi-translation of all sin for better understanding.
Pranatipaat,Mrishawad,Adattadan.Maithun,Parigraha,Krodh,Maan,Maya,Lobh,Raag,Dwesh,Kalah,Abhyakhan ( wrong allegations),
Peshunya ( gossip),Parpariwad (taunt or malign),balance three are---
Rati-Arati( joy for liked things and hate for disliked things),Maya-Mrushawad ( lie with cunning sense ) and Mithyadarshanshalya,
First five sins are against basic principles of Jainism. Violence is killing of living ones including eating eggs, fish, meat etc.It is taking out any one or more organ, element out of 10 known as "Pran". All Pran are essential to hold life for any one. If one is running restaurant as a franchise having vegetarian and non vegetarian food ,he is incurring first most prohibited sin of violence. He is directly get the connection and involvement in depriving animals from lives.
One can argue that, even eating vegetables amount to killing them, then how does it is justified, It is correct ,but it is bare minimum necessary to keep us going. If it is done with feeling of regret ,there is less sin since vegetables have one organ -Sparshnedriya . While hen, fish, goat have five organs. When they are being cut the
pain to their soul feeling is much greater ever beyond imagination.
Study of these sins and keeping one self away or trying to minimize it ,can help soul to have minimum negative Karmas. Needless to say that Karma theory governs our destiny and happiness ,sorrows in current and next lives series. So one must be careful.If one decides to reduce sins or remain absent from it,his "Charitra-Mohniya" Karma gets reduced. It can allow him to do more religious activities, take Samaik,Pachkan.We can see it in own house for practical checking.
Sins for all above can be attached to soul in threefold ways--done by self. authorized others to do and approval by self. More over those attachment is by any or all components of mind, speech and body actions. It is known Yog & Karan .There can be various combination.
As we dislike harm to our self, just think how harm to others by us can go unpunished .We cannot avoid consequent punishment if such Karmas are not nullified or reduced by "Pratikaman" or "Micchami Dukadam" regret feeling. Some sins, even cannot be undone by it.
Let us be grateful to Lord Mahaveerswami to explain us the sins and their after effects, so that we can avoid them at our best. Otherwise, we would have never bothered about them. His debts cannot be paid.
In Bhagwatisutra 01/09 chapter while answering question of Guru
Gautamswami Bhagwan Mahaveerswami explained 18 sin as reason causing heaviness of soul. Such weight gives us birth in hell and increase our life and death cycles. Later on those sins were adopted in Pratikaman for use of Shrawaks to reduce such sins.
Last sin "Mittyadarshanshalya" means wrong faith---- not following Lord Mahaveer's teaching is most dangerous and may deprive us of Jainism in future. So friends just decide to keep away from all these sins and aim for salvation. One thing must to know in connection with sins. Sins are never get subtracted from good deeds. They need to be suffered separately unless nullified. Sins causes payment
of adverse nature as we pay interest on loan. While good deeds or
Punya is getting interest on fixed deposits.
So friends please join me to sing a small prayer as a efforts-------!!!" "Karemi Bhante Bol Re Prani, Sidhoki Sakshi Se Bol Re,Paap
Bahot Kiya Hai,Abhi Na Karenge, Kabhi Nahi Kabhi Nahi Re-!"

We all Bhavi devotees are definitely a future "Siddhas." Hence it is almost necessary that we shall keep safer distance from 18 sins so as looking back we should definitely not regret our late salvation. Just note all 18 sins are being committed each x6 by mind, speech and body. 2,11.12,13,14 and 17 are by speech .Sayam is best tool to cut off from all of 18 sins. Let us try our best to cut from all possible .
