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”.

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.
