 "Jainism" by Harischandra Kaviratna
Dharma, adharma, akasa and kala are the other four dravyas or "substances" of Jainism, which together are said to produce a harmonious cosmos.
Dharma and adharma are not causal, but rather nonoperative conditions which allow motion and rest; yet the latter are determined by the jives or ajivas which possess the intrinsic potency to move or rest.
Akasa or space is infinite in extent, and divided into two: the space which encompasses the visible universe with all its jivas and ajivas (loka-akasa), and the space which may be termed the void or the beyond (aloka-akasa).

 Arya Samaj
Moksha is for one who is bound, and the bond is ignorance and transgression of the moral law (ajnana and adharma).
The Vedantic idea that the soul is never born nor does it ever die, nor is it bound nor desires to remove bondage, and being ever free, moksha has no meaning for it; is discarded by Dayanand.
These consist of carrying out God's commands; remaining removed from evil company, evil desires, evildoers, adharma and ignorance; speaking the truth, doing good to others, acquiring knowledge, being equal-minded and just and furthering dharma; prayer, singing God's praises, and yoga; increasing knowledge and education; and following noble practices which are just and without prejudice.

The question for which he should first of all find answer in his own mind is whether it is realistic to expect dharma in something that carries the seeds of adharma in its very formation.

Common to all of them are their opportunistic character, their utter disregard of principles and their hinging on highly egotistic political personae for whom self invariably comes before service.

 Jain Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
According to Jain thought, the basic constituents of reality are souls (jiva), matter (pudgala), motion (dharma), rest (adharma), space (akasa), and time (kala).
A finite region of space, usually described as taking the shape of a standing man with arms akimbo, is the only region of space that can contain anything.
This is so because it is the only region of space that is pervaded with dharma, the principle of motion (adharma is not simply the absence of dharma, but rather a principle that causes objects to stop moving).

Perhaps some premonition of continuing strife prompts Bali to relive that epic battle every six months in the Galungan festival (observed on October 4) which rejoices at the defeat of the asura of adharma, Mayadenawa, descendant of daityas and son of Dewi Danu.
Such devotional efflorescence may seem a trifle redundant in a placid setting of benign Hindus and wind-worn stone temples washed by a tranquil sea, but everything acquires symbolic meaning in a Bali that is the battleground of war after war.
Death and heroism, dharma and adharma are thus woven into Bali’s heritage.
