General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsSarvajñājñā (सर्वज्ञाज्ञा) refers to the “instruction of the omniscient one” (i.e. the Jina), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Examination of the instruction [of the Jina] is considered to be when, through the application of the instruction of the omniscient one (sarvajñājñā-abhiyoga) (i.e. the Jina), [the meditator] reflects upon the true state of objects laid down in his doctrine”.
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.
