In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch狈颈谤惫颈峁测补 (啶ㄠた啶班啶掂た啶粪く) refers to 鈥渂eing free from sense objects鈥�, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擜ccordingly, as 莫艣vara says to V膩madeva: 鈥淸...] The mind alone is the cause of people鈥檚 liberation and bondage. The mind which clings to sense objects [leads] to bondage, and the mind which is free from sense objects (苍颈谤惫颈峁测补), to liberation. All this, whatever is moving and motionless, is [just] a visible object of the mind. For, when the mind has become free of the mind, [Yogins] call it the state of non-duality. [...]鈥�.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as 膩sanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: Wikisource: Ashtavakra Gita狈颈谤惫颈峁测补 (啶ㄠた啶班啶掂た啶粪く) refers to 鈥渇reedom from objects鈥� (which a true Yog墨 is not concerned with), according to the A峁ａ弓膩vakrag墨t膩 (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Ved膩nta topics.鈥擜ccordingly, [as Janaka says to A峁ａ弓avakra]: 鈥淚n my unblemished nature there are no elements, no body, no faculties, no mind. There is no void and no anguish. For me, free from the sense of dualism, there are no scriptures, no self-knowledge, no mind free from an object (苍颈谤惫颈峁测补) [kva 艣膩stra峁� kv膩tmavij帽膩na峁� kva v膩 苍颈谤惫颈峁测补峁� mana岣�], no satisfaction and no freedom from desire. [...]鈥�.
Vedanta (啶掂啶︵ぞ啶ㄠ啶�, ved膩nta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections狈颈谤惫颈峁测补 (啶ㄠた啶班啶掂た啶粪く) refers to 鈥�(being) devoid of any sense object鈥�, according to the 11th century J帽膩n膩r峁嘺va, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by 艢ubhacandra.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淭hen if the mind is devoid of any sense object (苍颈谤惫颈峁测补) [and] influenced by restraint and tranquillity by means of virtue still there is no ascertainment of reality. Also sometimes when these (i.e. good duration of life, etc.), which are exceedingly difficult to obtain, are obtained because of divine [action], some here [in the world] who are absorbed in objects of desire fall down because of carelessness鈥�.
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, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
