General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraSūkṣmasamparāya (सूक्ष्मसम्पराय) refers to one of the Fourteen Guṇasthānas (“steps on the road to emancipation”) according to Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra (“lives of the 63 illustrious persons”).—In this (i.e., Sūkṣmasamparāya) the upaśamaka reduces sañjvalana. The kṣapaka destroys sañjvalanalobha, the only cāritramohanīyakarma which is left. Then he passes to the twelfth guṇasthāna. The duration of the tenth is an antarmuhürta and only śuklaleśyā is present.
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.
