## Diimadrushti: The Ultimate Omniscient, Though Different in Person, is One and the Same
(355) How? It is said -
"Whoever is called omniscient, is indeed ultimate. He is one and the same everywhere, despite differences in person." (103)
**Meaning:** Whoever is called "omniscient" and is truly ultimate, is one and the same everywhere, despite differences in person.
**Commentary:**
It was stated above that there is no difference among omniscients. How is this so? This is clarified here - "Whoever is called omniscient" and is truly ultimate, is one and the same everywhere, despite differences in person. Even though the true ultimate omniscient may be called by different names like Ahanta, Jin, Buddha, Shiva, Sarvagna Abheda Shankar, etc., due to differences in person, in essence, they are one and the same. Even though they may be different in person, like Rishabha Jin, etc., they are one and the same in essence, as they share the common characteristic of ultimate omniscience. There is no room for difference in this.
"The liberated, the Buddha, and even Ahanta, when endowed with divine power, are all one and the same." - Shri Haribhadrasuriji's Shri Yogabindu.
"Shiva, Shankar, Jagadishwaru, Chidananda Bhagavan...Lalana, Jin Ariha Tirthankaru, all three are the same." - Shri Anandghanaji.
No matter what the name or the person, if the true ultimate reality is the same, then the infinite omniscients are also one form. Thus, the infinite Kevaljnas are also...
