अनित्यतामशरणं भवमेकत्वमन्यताम् । 14/ 5511
“अशौचमास्रवविधिं संवरं कर्मनिर्जरा । धर्मस्वारव्याततां लोकं द्वादर्शी बोधिभावनाम् । 14/561"
"Equanimity is attained through detachment which is facilitated and strengthened by contemplation of following twelve concepts and feelings (Bhawanas or Anuprekshas):
Anitya Bhavana (Concept of Transience): To contemplate that every thing in this world is transtient. Riches, relatives, worldly peasures and other possessions and comforts will abondon sooner or later. Hence one should ponder over it and strengthen detachment. This is a negative concept. Relations and things obtained, cultivated and developed by good deeds and efforts will continue if the person maintains good conduct. Of course there may be ups and down in life such as profits or losses in business etc. and one should have equanimity but it does not mean one should abandon one's work or relations.
Asharan Bhavna (Feeling of helplessness): To feel and contemplate that none will be helpful in the situation of distress, pain and particularly at the time of death. This is contrary to the very fundamental principle of yoga which is based on symbiosis (mutualism) which is also subscribed in Jainism :
"परस्परोपगृहों द्रव्यानाम् ।"

Acharya Kanakundi
"All substances animate and in animate in the universe are mutually helpful, supportive and reinforcing". Acharya Kanaknandi have summarized in this stanza the stanzas 5/17 to 5/22 in Tatvarth Sutra by Umaswati. According to Jainism the universe is comprised of six substances, their infinite modes and variations. The six sukstances are Dharma, Adharma, Akasa, Pudgala (Matter), Jiva (Living beings) and Kala (Time). All these six substances are mutually helpful:
"गतिस्थित्युिपग्रहो धर्माधर्मयोरूपकारः । 15/17 || "
"Dharma and Adharma substances are instrumental for motion and stay of Jiva and Pudgala and it is their benevolence".
“आकाशस्यावगाहः ||5/18 ||”
"Akasa i.e. space gives place to all"
