General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsBhinnatva (भिन्नत्व) refers to the “difference” (of material objects), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “[com.—Next he speaks about the difference (bhinnatvam) of material objects for the one residing in the three worlds (trailokyavartipadārthānāṃ)]—Also, fool, having passed beyond their own nature, all beings who reside in the three worlds exist separately at all times”.
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.
