General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsAndhīkṛtātman (अन्धीकृतात्मन्) refers to the “those whose selves are blinded” (by the irresistible spreading of ignorance and passion), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Certainly, for embodied souls whose selves are blinded (andhīkṛtātman) by the irresistible spreading of ignorance and passion, pains are to be endured for a very long time in hell, etc.”.
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.
