It is the very nature of the soul to remain in state of right knowledge, right perception and right happiness. In order to realize (or regain) this state, it is important to liberate the self from the clutches of pervert nature in which it has been transmigrating since time immemorial. The thorns of pervert nature in the soul can be removed only with continuous practice of state of equanimity and vigilant practice of pratikraman.
Samayik means to remain in a state of equanimity. A person who is absorbed in a state of attachment or hatred faces every moment old traditions and contacts and separations from worldly things. In such conditions a human being is sometimes in a state of attachment and sometimes in a state of hatred. In order to get rid of attachment and hatred, the practice of samayik serves as the perfect medicine.
The omniscient have fixed the minimum period of 48 minutes for practice of samayik . An ordinary person can remain in a state of equanimity for 48 minutes. By regular practice of samayik, the period of stability can also be slowly and gradually increased. By continuous and regular practice, one arrives at that moment when the present state completely goes off and the soul stabilities itself in a completely natural state. In this state the right knowledge, right perception and ecstatic happiness which are the natural ingredients of the soul appear in its full (sublime) form. Then the soul becomes completely enlightened soul (Parmatima).
There are many forms of Samayik. Without going into subtle divisions, it is necessary for a person to know properly two forms of Samayik. They are dravya (external) Samayik and bhava (inner) Samayik. In a nutshell dravya samayik means the method of starting the samayik as laid down in Agams (Jains Scriptures) and also the procedure of concluding the samayik. Bhava (Internal) samayik means that the practitioner should stabilies his mind, speech and body in a state of equanimity. It is the primary goal of the disciple to practice bhava samayik. But without dravya samayik only one in millions can straight away practice properly bhava samayik.
सामायिक विधि
सामायिक की आराधना के लिए धर्मस्थानक सर्वोत्तम स्थान है। यदि स्थानक जाने का संयोग न बने तो अपने घर में ही एकान्त-शान्त स्थान में रजोहरणी (पूंजनी) से भूमि को पूंज कर आसन बिछावें। शुद्ध श्वेत चोलपट्ट एवं श्वेत दुपट्टा (चद्दर) धारण करें। मुख पर मुखवस्त्रिका लगावें। उसके बाद गुरु महाराज विराजमान हों तो उनके समक्ष जाकर तिक्खुत्तो श्रावक आवश्यक सूत्र
