In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsŚarīratva (शरीरत्व) refers to the “state of a body”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Brother, your roaming in the house that is this world [has been] for a long time. Those atoms of matter do not exist which have not gained the state of a body (śarīratva) nor the state of food [for you]”.
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.
