It is also called as Samyak Parakram in Jainism. Purushartha can be classified in four categories--Artha ( living hood, finance),Kamma
( relations) ,Religion (Dharma) and Salvation (Moksha).Most times we are engaged in first two options and ignore last two the most needed one due to our ignorance. Now let us have study for it .It is
very interesting to look at life of Pujya mahaveerswami. In his entire
total period of twelve and half year of "Sadhna",he had food only for 349 days. He kept fast for approximate 4213 days. He termed Tap
fast as a tool of fire to burn iron rod of negative layers of Karma.
Keeping fast and taking Pachkhans are part of human efforts only.
We have long list of difficult Pachkahns. We have to overcome them.
Human soul is constantly attracting 7 particles of Karmas with it's 148 divisions. Balance one i.e. Aayushya or life karma is attracted only once in the particular life based on summary of seven Karmas.
Karma theory passes through four stages-Bandh (attracting),Vedan ( experience). Nirjara (cleaning) and salvation.( totally clear- nil.).
With transactions of mind, speech and body mixed with four bad
Kashay(anger, Kama .greed and cheating)Karma particles are being attached soul with four features i.e. Prakruti ( type ).Pradesh means
( quantum ),Anubhag (severity) Sthithi (period).Karma particles are called as Karmadalik and Structural design of such particles is called Karmanishek. Karma can be cleared with Purushartha.
When Karma particles start moving to give the results after passive period, it is known Udaya Dasha. It is necessary to study whether unmoved Karmas remains there for ever or some thing can be done to reduce it's negativity before they set to give results. Such efforts being termed as"Udirana "). It is applicable for passive Karmas.
Now question arises if nature of built Karmas can be changed or
not. One may be unaware while building it but later on when he gets
possession of knowledge of Jainism- he may wish to change it.
In Bhagwatisutra 01/01 Shatak Mahaveer Bhagwan has given the answer under chapter "Chalmane Chaliye".Bhagwan inform Guru Guatamswami that the nature of other than Nikachit Karma can be changed with Udirana. The other stages of reducing severity are
Prahan ( Girana),Chedan (reducing period),Bhedan (to change the severity) and burning (Jalana with Dyan ) and Sankraman by Tap.
( transformation). Here he underlined importance of Purushartha
This is a ray of hope. With layers of unawareness we might have built bad Karmas knowingly or unknowingly. But if we can try to improve our level of knowledge with study of Jainism. Then we can change nature of Karmas by adopting various measures of efforts i. e Purushartha .It consist all religious activities like fast, Samaik added
by Pratikaman, Gurudarshan, Swadhaya,Aalochana and others. With determination and willpower it is possible to change Karmas. Just I remember a para from Hindi Shayari collection from my youthdays,
Nakuda means sailor and Langer means parking rope of a boat.)
Yesterday I read a news that one ticket collector throw away young woman from moving train and a young couple was killed for inter-caste marriage. Such are Nikachit Karmas if they have been really built in the way reported ,then they can never be changed and has to be faced with same or severe consequences in the time to come..
Human efforts or Purushartha can be done in following suggested ways to clear Karmas. For all --73 options viewers can refer 29th chapter of Uttradhyan Sutra as advocated by Bhagwan Mahaveeraa himself. It is titled as "Samyag Parakrama",
1-The most powerful tool to cut Karmas is Swadhay ( Reading Jain Aagams ),Tap ( fast ) and mediation. But if found difficult one can move with following easier options discussed herewith.
2-In second category one can have -Sanwar (staying away from sins from 1 to 48 minutes or more.),Samaik. Pratikaman. Poshudh and Pratyakhan (vows to restrict consumption),control over 5 organs. Aaloyana .Khamatkhamna or apology and Santhara wish etc.
3-In third category one can proceed with charity, Bramcharya .good wishes for all, service to needy, Three Manorath, taking 14 Niyams Gurudarshan. attending their lectures and knowing nine Tatvas
Nothing is impossible with reference to human capacity. Only thing that is needed is self realization and determination. So just realize -yes I have committed sins and now time has come to write it off-!!!.
