It is for this reason that the Jain doctrine attaches so much importances to the Namaskara or Navakara chant. It is in fact, supposed to be the digest of the Jain faith and the essence of the 14 scriptures because the presence of this chant in the heart of a Jain devotee empowers him to overcome all worldly attachments and leads to ultimate salvation.

Attachment, Avarice etc.
When equanimity of your mind dispels the darkness of attachment, avarice etc., you instantly realize the true vision of the supreme soul. Renunciation is the hall-mark of Indian culture. To give up something for the sake of someone you like, is the key to happiness in your family life. The same principle of renunciation, extended beyond your worldly relation, enables you to reach a spiritual ground if involved the total rejection of every attachment. This attachment is inherent in you and does not inhere in the thing.
