In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections³Õ¾±á¹£a²â²¹²õ³Ü°ì³ó²¹ (विषयसà¥à¤�) refers to “worldly pleasuresâ€�, according to PÅ«jyapÄda’s SarvÄrthasiddhi.—Accordingly, “[...] Even if human birth is attained, a good country, a good family, keen senses, health, etc. are more and more difficult of attainment. When all these are attained, if true faith is not acquired, human birth becomes useless like the face without vision. And even after attaining this rare true faith, if anyone is immersed in worldly pleasures (±¹¾±á¹£a²â²¹²õ³Ü°ì³ó²¹), it is like burning sandal-wood paste for the sake of ash. [...]â€�.

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.
