General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsIndrajālopama (इन्द्रजालोपम) refers to “that which is similar to an illusion”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “The world is similar to an illusion (indrajālopama), like a black ointment of delusion for the senses. With regard to this, we do not know why this world goes astray”.
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.
