General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsVairāgyapadavī (वैराग्यपदवी) refers to the “path of freedom from worldly desires”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Having found the path of non-attachment [com.—vairāgyapadavī—‘the path of freedom from worldly desires’], the more the one who has subdued his senses undergoes asceticism, the more he destroys the karmas which are difficult to conquer. A corporeal [soul] becomes pure like gold immediately karma, whose existence is without a beginning and which is completely consumed by the fire of meditation, is destroyed”.
Synonyms: Nirvedapadavī.
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.
