JAINISM--SUFFERINGS AND IT'S EFFECTS ON KARMAS-------!!!

Whether more sufferings causes more and quick Nirjara (Reduction in accumulated Karmas ) ? a question arises in mind if one takes up the study of Karmasiddhanta of Jainism. Bhagwan Mahaveerswami has provided the related guidelines in 06/01 chapter Bhagwatisutra under the heading Vedana and Nirjara. Really very useful to study it. 
    To summaries the guidance, one can say that the main criteria is with which frame of mind Karmas were built and how they are being faced finalizes the clearance of Karmas. Let us study same as follow.

 First time attracting Karma is called Chay ( Bandh).Repeatedly

attracting same Karma is called Upachay (addition and growth) or making them Nikachit. To explain it ,Bhagwan has given example of needles. If loose needles are tagged with a ordinary band-it is Chay. Easy to unfasten. If they are fastened with iron wire and given heat, they will melt and take shape of iron ball -making, then difficult to bring  them back to original form. This is case  falling in Nikachit Karmas category. Needless to say they are impossible to clear

Bhagwan also gave  more examples of burning / cutting Karmas by rigorous religion activities. He gave examples of a water drop, If it is put on hot plate immediately it vanishes. In second example to it  Bhagwan illustrated a bunch of dry grass put into fire. It will get burn soon /immediately compared to wet bunch. In third example ,he quoted a piece of used cloth can be cleaned easily compared to cloth dipped into furnace oil and offered for cleaning it is too difficult for cleaning. Naturally heavy Karmas built with severity need more time

Like wise Karmas can be reduced if our sufferings is with peace and calm feelings that -let me repay for my mistakes because only my Karmas are able to punish me. The Karmas are too hard task master they have not spared even great souls like Mahaveer Bhagwan, then how can I expect them sparing me. Let me repay it as currently I can repay it with ease than in old age. Then I can enjoy real happiness.

If the feeling is lacking then more sufferings can not ensure needed Nirjara or reduction of accumulated Karmas. Such frustration can build new Karmas. One needs to avoid it with Jainism guidance.
Bhagwan has given four categories of sufferings and it's result.
1-Monks undergoing Pratima------More sufferings-----More Nirjara.
2-6th and 7th hell residing souls---More sufferings-----Less Nirjara.
3-Monks who attains 13th Gunsthana ( Shaileshi position )---Low sufferings but more Nirjara as of Gajasukumalji" Shrikishna brother.

4-Gods residing in Annutropatikviman-Low- sufferings and Nirjara 
Thus even going to hell and facing lot of sufferings will not ensure clearance of all bad Karmas. For it- full occupancy in religious good activities while in human form is most desirable form. Facing those
Karmas which have entered into Bhadha-Kaal from Abhadha- Kal  
( opened up to give results) bravely can reduce it's severity. Let us wake up and go for reduction of Karmas as guided by Bhagwan. Less tension. more coolness is the key for positive results and the
eagerness  and anxiety to repay quickly can help greatly.
