In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: HereNow4u: Jain Dharma ka Maulika Itihasa (2)Jīvājīva (जीवाजीव) refers to one of the topics treated in the Sthānāṅga (Sthānāṃga), one of the Dvādaśāṅgī (twelve Aṅgas) of Jainism.—Sthānāṅga occupies the third place in Dvādaśāṅgī. A compendium of topics like self-same (svasamaya), non-self-same (parasamaya), svapara-ubhayasamaya, jīva-ajīva, and loka-aloka are discussed in this canon. It consists of one Śruta skaṇdha, 10 chapters, 21 topics, 21 sub topics and 72000 verses. The available text of this Sūtra has 3770 verses.
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsJīvājīva (जीवाजीव) refers to the “self and non-self”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “That wherein things beginning with the self, which are sentient and non-sentient [com.—jīvājīva-rūpa—‘composed of the self and non-self’], are seen by the omniscient ones is the cosmos. Consequently, the non-cosmos is named the atmosphere. The cosmos is the shape of a palm tree filled with the three worlds, surrounded by the three winds having great speed [and] great power in between [the cosmos and non-cosmos]”.
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.
