## Chapter 3: The Minor Vows (Anuvratas) **The Minor Vows (Anuvratas) are:** * **Refraining from killing living beings (Pranavada):** This refers to the destruction of life force (Pran), which is characterized by the senses, strength, breath, and lifespan. It does not mean killing a living being (Jiva), as it is impossible to kill a Jiva. As it is said: > "The one who is constantly bound by the cycle of birth and death, and who is devoid of the means of liberation, is impermanent." (Samyak. Sapta. 61) > "The destruction of the body, the suffering of the soul, and the entanglement of the mind, this is called killing, which should be avoided with all effort." (Shrav. Prajna. 191) * **Refraining from lying (Musavada):** This refers to speaking falsely, which can be of two types based on the nature of the falsehood: * **Based on the nature of the object:** This includes four types: 1. **Falsely claiming the existence of something that does not exist:** For example, claiming that the soul is omnipresent. 2. **Falsely claiming the non-existence of something that exists:** For example, claiming that the soul does not exist. 3. **Falsely attributing something to something else:** For example, saying "This cow is a horse." 4. **Falsely accusing someone:** For example, saying "You are a leper." * **Based on the motivation behind the lie:** This includes anger, greed, fear, and delusion. * **Refraining from accepting gifts that are not rightfully yours (Adatta-Paradara-Niyaman):** This refers to accepting gifts that belong to someone else, including: * **Gifts from a master:** This includes gifts from a king, a teacher, or a spiritual guide. * **Gifts from a Jiva:** This includes gifts from any living being. * **Gifts from a Tirthankara:** This includes gifts from a liberated soul. There are also three types of gifts based on the intention of the giver: * **Gifts given with a pure intention:** This includes gifts given with love, compassion, and respect. * **Gifts given with a mixed intention:** This includes gifts given with a mixture of good and bad intentions. * **Gifts given with a bad intention:** This includes gifts given with greed, anger, or hatred. * **Refraining from sexual misconduct (Paradara-Niyaman):** This refers to engaging in sexual activity with someone who is not your spouse. It includes any act that violates the sanctity of marriage and the purity of relationships. **The Minor Vows (Anuvratas) are a set of principles that help us to live a virtuous life. By practicing these vows, we can purify our mind, speech, and actions, and move towards liberation.** **The meaning of the verse:** > "Refraining from killing living beings, lying, accepting gifts that are not rightfully yours, and sexual misconduct, these are the Minor Vows (Anuvratas). Refraining from excessive desires is also a Minor Vow (Anuvrata)." **The verse emphasizes the importance of controlling our desires and living a life of restraint and virtue.**
