In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 7: The Five VowsMamatva (ममत्व) refers to “feeling of mine” according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 7.17.—The ‘feeling of mine (mamatva)’ in external objects like wealth etc and the internal dispositions like attachment is the characteristic of possessions (parigraha). This is so as they further give rise to the thought of safeguard such objects also.
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsMamatva (ममत्व) refers to “self-interest”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Yogis continually drive away desire and dislike through equanimity or through the state of non-attachment [com.—through absence of self-interest (mamatvarahitena)], and they drive away wrong faith through the application of right faith. Those who know the self certainly destroy mental darkness, which is produced by the great quantity of ignorance [and] is a barrier to reality, with the sunbeams of knowledge”.
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.
