Letter 2 These manifestations had been constantly changing in past, are continuously changing at present and will continue to change in the future till eternity. Each manifestation has its own power and unit of measuring this power is known as power point l.e. Avibhag Pratichhed afar ufact, which are in infinite number.
Now Sarvadnya or omniscient is one who knows clearly all the infinite substances, their all the infinite attributes along with all their past, present and future manifestations and power points of all the manifestations in one single moment i.e. Samay. This acquisition of knowledge does not need sensory organs. Because this true knowledge is above the sensory processes.
We have seen that the chief attribute of Atma i.e. Jeev is sentience or consciousness. When Atma is immersed in itself completely and its knowledge has blossomed fully then it automatically possesses the knowledge of everything in this cosmos. In that case the concept of time like past, present or future and of space like near, far, here, there are not hinderance to it. Similarly it knows the minutest substances which are not perceivable by the ordinary senses or even by modern machines like microscopes, microphones etc. which help our sensory organs in perceiving small substances.
In the scripture named Pravachansar saurert it is shown that the power of knowledge manifestation of one Samay is infinite. Once you know this then you start wondering as to what will be the power or greatness of oneself or I who beholds attribute of knowledge and has infinite other attributes.
The scripture told by Arihant i.e. Jinendrakathit Agam ( fortsafen 114 ) tells the nature of Atma and spells the way to realise it oneself and to experience it. And once you realise the power of oneself as explained in Pravachansar and find out that Jinendrakathit Agam gives you the path to know and experience it, naturally you are anxious and enthusiastic to gain that knowledge. We will consider the greatness of the study of scriptures and philosophy later.
You may wonder as to why we are dealing with Veetaragata and Sarvadnyata in such details. Keep in mind that we have to learn the exact nature of God or Ishwar and that too, to its fullest extent. Now tell me who can tell you the truth or the whole truth as we often say ? Can anybody who does not possess total Veetaragata or is bound by Kashaya or one who is not Sarvadnya or does not know the full truth i.e. an ignorant person tell you what is the true path of liberation ? No.
Let me give you an example. If you ask a child, " How much does your father earn? Or how rich your family is?" Since the child may not
