Bhagavai 5:4:108-111
possessed of "five senses." The reply given is that his five senses are inactive or defunct, because the omniscient does not need their utilization. Omniscience and the senses can not function simultaneously.? Semantics ādana - the word ādāna has many meanings such as-karmika inflow, possessions, etc.. Because etymologically the word means 'grasping of anything', 'grasping' here means the knowledge of the objects', ādāna stands for the external media such as the sense-organs, other instruments, etc.? mitam, amitam --- The scope of the sensory organs is finite, while that of omniscience is infinite. By the sensory-organs or any instruments, the infinite substance, space, time and mode cannot be comprehended. It is only the omniscience that can know the infinite substance, space, time and mode.
