In Jainism, are people who are not raised in the beliefs at a disadvantage?

As some people are in other religions. During a lifetime, does it make it harder for a person to accumulate karma if they are not aware of the set of beliefs in Jain? Or do they have just as good of a chance?

I would bet my bottom dollar that 75% of people on this forum haven't even heard of Jainism, dear.

I'm no Jain, but I would expect that karma is karma and if you aren't a Jain and commit actions of bad karma, it will still come to haunt you even if you become a Jain later.

Jainism (pronounced in English as IPA [DE.n?zm?]), traditionally known as Jain Dharma (A A), is a diatomic religion and philosophy originating in Ancient India with the teachings of Mahavira (ca. 6Th century BC). A minority in modern India, with growing immigrant communities in the United States, Western Europe, Africa, the Far East and elsewhere, Jains continue to sustain the ancient Shraman (S's) or ascetic tradition.

Jains have significantly influenced the religious, ethical, political and economic spheres in India for more than two millennial. Jainism stresses spiritual independence and equality of all life with particular emphasis on non-violence. Self-control (????, vratae) is vital for attaining Keval Gnan and eventually moksha, or realization of the soul's true nature.

Jains can not possibly say one way or the other of another person's journeying Thur spiritual realization, as that would imply that the judging Jain would know all possible permutations of a person's life influences. It acknowledges the possibility of unforeseen confluences to cause the best to occur in unexpected life experiences which lead naturally to the best way, and if needed, it may be Thur their [Jain] guidance, or not. Clearly Jains believe in allowing others their freedom for this purpose of realization, or else they'd practice aggressive proselytizing, which they do not.

Generally, as much as is regarded as true is given the assumption as it being best - false is transient non-existence by comparison, and those endowed with knowledge of their own state are at an advantage to themselves to overcome their limitations of karma. Therefore Jains teach, in best practice, by example; secondarily, through dispelling myths. The wiser ones admit their own imperfections, and do not force anything as though it were anything but relatively true.

God bless.
