![]() In the present era, there are no Tirthankars, Kevali Bhagwant and Chaudh Purvi, etc and so we can only rely on Shrut Gyan which means Jinvani to attain Moksh. | |||||||||||||

Jainism believes that the more a person possesses in worldly wealth, the more (s)he may be unhappy and the more likely (s)he is to commit sin, both physically and mentally. Jains believe that possessions are an obstacle to liberation. Jain monks have virtually no possessions, while Jain Shravaks try to minimize their possessions. People form attachments to possessions and desire more possessions: possessions become an end in themselves. This gets in the way of detachment and spiritual growth. Non-acquisition is also an ecologically sound doctrine as it leads to reduction in use of natural resources. | |||||||||||||
