General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsBāhyabhūta (बाह्यभूत) refers to “those who exist outside”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Certainly where there is [such] great difference between the body and the embodied soul , how could there be unity with relatives who are external [com.—who exist outside (bāhyabhūtaiḥ)] ? Whichever sentient and insentient objects attain a connection, they are all different in all cases according to their own nature”.
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.
