General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsKāmārthalālasa (कामार्थलालस) refers to “(being) absorbed in objects of desire”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Also sometimes when these (i.e. good duration of life, etc.), which are exceedingly difficult to obtain, are obtained because of divine [action], some here [in the world] who are absorbed in objects of desire (kāmārthalālasa) fall down because of carelessness. And having duly found the path consisting of the Three Jewels, some whose minds are entirely stupefied by the poison of excessive wrong faith, give up”.
Synonyms: Kāmārthalampaṭa.
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.
