In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra

Anindriya (啶呧え啶苦え啷嵿う啷嵿ぐ啶苦く, 鈥渜uasi sense organs鈥�).鈥擶hat is the meaning of 鈥榪uasi or internal sense organ鈥� (anindriya)? Mind, mana, 补苍迟补岣补谤补峁嘺, manasa are synonym of quasi sense organ. Here the prefix 鈥�an鈥� before indriya is used to denote a little or slight i.e. mind is also slightly like sense organs.

Why mind is called a quasi sense organ (anindriya)? Sense organs (external) have forms, are visible and gross namely tongue, ears, nose, eyes, body, etc. But the mind, being subtle, is not visible and yet it is able to cognize all objects of knowledge.

context information

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.
