26. [Q.] Bhante! Are living beings jnani (endowed with knowledge) or ajnani (ignorant or with wrong knowledge)?
卐
[Ans.] Gautam ! Living beings are jnani (endowed with knowledge) as well as ajnani (ignorant or with wrong knowledge). Among those who are endowed with knowledge, some are endowed with two kinds of knowledge, some with three kinds, some with four kinds and some with one kind.
Those with two kinds are mati-jnani (endowed with sensual knowledge) and shrut-jnani (endowed with scriptural knowledge). Those with three kinds are either mati-jnani (endowed with sensual knowledge), shrut-jnani (endowed with scriptural knowledge) and avadhi-jnani (endowed with extrasensory perception of the physical fidimension; something akin to clairvoyance), or mati-jnani (endowed with fi sensual knowledge), shrut-jnani (endowed with scriptural knowledge) and manahparyava-jnani (endowed with extrasensory perception and knowledge of thought process and thought-forms of other beings, something akin to telepathy). Those with four kinds are mati-jnani, shrut-jnani, avadhi-jnani and manahparyava-jnani. F Those with one kind are essentially Keval-jnani (omniscient).
अण्णा ते अत्थेइया दुअण्णाणी, अत्थेगइया तिअण्णाणी । एवं तिण्णि अण्णाणाणि भयणाए ।
