________________ Sources of Meditation in Tattvārthasūtra from Jaina ... 115 Only difference here is that yoga is dependent on dhāraṇā, dhyāna and samādhi for its being introvert but sāmkhya attains the same without the help of those means. Different Philosophical schools have prescribed various ways and means for salvation. The theoretical aspect of meditation regarding its steps and methods are different in nature. But basically in certain stages some aspects are to be regarded as common. Yogaścittavrtti nirodhaḥ is applicable everywhere in all systems of meditation in all the schools of Indian Philosophy. Following the same the meditator dwelling in the white meditation ultimately stops the physical, vocal and mental activites and attains complete liberation. Jainism marked it through spritual stages called guṇasthāna. References 1. That Which Is (Tattvārthasūtra), translated by Nathmal Tatia. 2. Tattvārthasūtra, ed. Siddhantacharya Pt.
