द्वारा कर्मों की निर्जरा के लिए जीवन और मृत्यु की इच्छा - अनिच्छा से मुक्त रहकर विचरूंगा । इस प्रकार मेरी श्रद्धा एवं प्ररूपणा है। अनशन का अवसर प्राप्त कर अनशन करके स्पर्शना द्वारा आत्म-शुद्धि करे ।
कर्मक्षय करने वाली संलेखना - साधना के पांच अतिचार हैं जिन्हें जानना तो चाहिए पर उनका आचरण नहीं करना चाहिए। वे पांच अतिचार इस प्रकार हैं - ( 1 ) इस लोक संबंधी आकांक्षा, (2) परलोक संबंधी आकांक्षा, (3) मान-सम्मान की कामना हेतु अधिक दिन जीने की आकांक्षा, (4) कष्टों से घबराकर शीघ्र मृत्यु की आकांक्षा करना, एवं (5) आगामी भव में काम-भोगों की आकांक्षा रखना। संलेखना साधना की अवधि में मैंने यदि उपरोक्त अतिचारों का सेवन किया हो तो तत्संबंधी मेरा दुष्कृत - दुश्चिन्तन मिथ्या हो ।
Explanation: After bowing to Arihantas and Siddhas he says as under:
'Blessed ones! I feel sorry for all the faults that I may have committed in the practice of all the resolves (vows). I condemn them and withdraw myself from them. May I be detached from all the thorns (namely deceit, nidaan and wrong faith) and for this purpose, I discard all types of violence I discard all type of falsehood, stealing, cohabitation, attachments, anger, ego and the like upto wrong faith. I discard all such activities that are undesirable and all activities relating to senses. Throughout my life I shall not mentally verbally or physically practice eighteen types of sins myself and ask anyone to commit such sins. I shell not even appreciate such acts committed by others. I withdraw myself from four types of articles of consumption namely solids, liquids, dry fruits and articles of fragrant taste for entire life-span. My physical body is liked by me. It is beautiful, loveable, trustworthy and desirable to me like a box of jewels. I have always taken precaution to protect it from drastic heat and cold, hunger and thirst, snake bite, thieves, mosquitoes, various types of disease and from imbalance in elements in the body, twenty two disturbances (Parishahs), and natural calamities. So far, I have looked after my body and taken care of it. Now I discard it till the last breath of my life. So, in order to shed karmas through samlekhama, I detaching myself from any desire or detraction for life or death. I shall spend the remaining period in this manner. This is my inner faith and its expression. At the time of fast one may desire self-purification by resorting to fast.
The practice of samlakhana destroys the Karmas attached to the soul and there are five likely digressions. One should know them but not allow them in his life. They are as follows:
