General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsEkatvarūpatva (एकत्वरूपत्व) refers to “having the nature of solitariness”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Companions are born only for this one to enjoy possessions but not to endure the pitiless succession of calamities arising from one’s own action. Why do the stupid, who are afflicted by the planet of [their] birth, not see solitariness [com.—in reality (paramārthataḥ), the nature of solitariness (ekatvarūpatvaṃ)’] which is perceived directly in the occurrence of birth and death?”.
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.
