In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsVinaśvaratva (विनश्वरत्व) refers to “transitoriness (of material objects)”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “[com.—Next he speaks about the transitoriness (vinaśvaratvam) of material objects (padārthānāṃ)]—Whatever objects, sentient and non-sentient, there are in the three worlds, they all are described by mendicants as continually transitory (vinaśvara—pratikṣaṇavinaśvarāḥ). The meeting of beloved women is like a city in the sky. Youth or wealth is like a mass of clouds. Relations, children and bodies, etc. are perishable as lightning. You must understand that the whole action of the cycle of rebirth is thus momentary”.
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.
