In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

: Jain eLibrary: 7th International Summer School for Jain Studies

The definitive word for reality is ‘sat� or existent. Each existent is with origination–decay and permanence simultaneously. Thus reality is said to be persistence with change. Existents are characterised by dravya (substance) and the realms of substances are classified as ī (living beings with consciousness) and non living beings ( or without consciousne ss).

: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra

1) Sat (सत�, “existence�).—What is meant by truth /reality (sat)? Sat is defined as existence (astitva) of an entity.

According to Tattvārthasūtra 1.8, “the categories and their details are undefrstood in detail in terms of existence (sat), number (enumeration), place or abode, extent of space touched (pervasion), continuity /time, interval of time, thought-activity, and reciprocal comparison�.

2) Sat (सत�, “reality�).—That which is with origination-destruction and permanence simultaneously is sat / real.

3) Sat refers to “right knowledge�, according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 1.32, “Owing to lack of discrimination between the real and the unreal, wrong knowledge is whimsical as that of a lunatic�.

: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 5: The category of the non-living

Sat (सत�, “existence�) according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 5.29, “Existence (bring or sat) is the different of substance� and 54.30, “Existence (sat) is characterized by origination (ܳٱ岹), disappearance (destruction) (vyaya) and permanence (dhrauvya)�. Is the difference in origination, destruction and permanence due to time or the state? All these three activities take place at the same time and hence the difference between these three is the state difference only.

How do the three states exist simultaneously? At any time instant, the old mode is being destroyed and the new mode is originating while the entity /substance retains (or does not change or leave) its own nature which is permanence. Hence all three states co-exist. Are the trio of origination, destruction and permanence different or same from different viewpoints? From the mode viewpoint, substance keep on originating and destroying continuously wile from substance viewpoint, they always stay the same. Hence they are both different and same.

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.
