In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsŚubhāsrava (शुभास्रव) refers to “good influx of karma”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “The mind which is supported by restraint, tranquillity, non-attachment and consideration of reality, [and] is lifted up by producing friendliness, etc. causes good influx of karma (śubhāsrava). The mind which is inflamed by the fire of passion [and] disordered by sense objects accumulates karma which shows a connection with life”.
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.
