General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsAtyakṣabodha (अत्यक्षबोध) refers to the “knowledge of what is beyond the senses”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “The three worlds, which are made foolish by the action of the poison of lust, are fast asleep in this gaping mouth of Yama’s serpent which is marked by fangs of destruction. While this one whose disposition is pitiless is devouring everyone, certainly there is no way out from this for you, noble fellow, by any means [even] with some difficulty without knowledge of what is beyond the senses (atyakṣabodha—apy atyakṣabodhaṃ vinā). [Thus ends the reflection on] helplessness”.
Synonyms: Atīndriyajñāna.
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.
