General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsĀjñābhiyoga (आज्ञाभियोग) refers to the “application of the instruction” (of the omniscient one), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Examination of the instruction [of the Jina] is considered to be when, through the application of the instruction of the omniscient one (sarvajña-ājñābhiyoga) (i.e. the Jina), [the meditator] reflects upon the true state of objects laid down in his doctrine”.
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.
