Like stated above, Jainism has many other specialities which
       are not seen elsewhere. It would take not days or months, but
       years to justify and describe all those specialities.

       We  were  talking  about  the  importance  of  pratikraman.  A
       householder  who  is  enveloped  constantly  and  24  x  7  in  the
       abundant  sins  of  Avirati,  Mithyatva,  love  and  hatred  can
       get rid of these sins not by donating gold and silver but by
       performing the ritual of pratikraman. The main question here
       is do we repent the sins performed throughout the day ?

       If  we  repent  those  sins  from  the  bottom  of  our  hearts,  then
       the  morning  and  evening  pratikraman  done  to  wash  away
       those sins won't seem like a burden.
