सकारात्मक अहिंसा
disciple Shri Gautam Swami nor Bhagvan Krishna could oblige his fast friend Arjun. Some people talk of Moksha simply by knowledge but it is universally admitted that Jains give more importance to activity which is compulsory as per these doctrines. Just suffice to quote very high authority of Acharanga- muatat fapotte afilia#1E, THE 3qfeugfo feraf (I, 151)=those devoid of religious activities, maintain that Moksha can be attained simply by knowledge, cannot cross the birth cycle of this world. To draw the ano. logy of words- keep on moving--(go on doing) is dharma and remaining stationary (not doing anything) is adharma. In fact activities are indispensible and so says Acharanga-I (1) इमस्स चेव जीवियस्स, परिवंदण माणणपूय णाए, जाई मरणमोयणाए, दुक्ख पडिघाय

The word has a heavy knowledge content and the compound should be analysed as renunciation based on knowledge-something selective -discriminative, Like a shrewd businessman, we should reconcile the situation, be rational and practical and weigh the consequences of the proposed business of body, mind and speech in terms of net resultant loss of bondage.
