General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsMohatyāga (मोहत्याग) refers to the “abandoning of infatuation”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “One who is restrained continually accumulates good karma by the activity of the body through his body which is well-controlled or by abandoning the body [com.—the abandoning (utsargaḥ), which is the abandoning of infatuation (mohatyāgaḥ), with regard to the body (kāye)]. The body of embodied souls attaches to bad karmas through actions which possess constant exertion and which kill living beings”.
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.
