Source: Atma Dharma: Principles of Jainism

Constancy of Individuality; That potentiality or quality by virtue of which the constancy (identity) with individuality of substance is always maintained, i. e., a substance does not change into another substance, an attribute does not change into another attribute and (also) the infinite attributes of a substance do not scatter or split up into separate entities. Due to this attribute no substance becomes less or more by losing or adding anything to it.

context information

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
