General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsKṣaṇakṣayitva (क्षणक्षयित्व) refers to the “perishability at any moment”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “[com.—He speaks about the perishability at any moment (kṣaṇakṣayitvam) of connections (saṃyogānāṃ)]—Connections with pleasing sense objects, whose impressions are full of deceit like dreams, perish immediately”.
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.
