प्रवचनसार
clairvoyance (avadhijñāna) as their eyes, and the Liberated Souls (the Siddha) have omnipresent eyes.
Explanatory Note: The worldly souls are enveloped by ignorance. They are, therefore, rid of knowledge about the pure soul and are deluded in regard to external objects. They do not have the sense-independent eye that can see everything; only the Supreme Liberated Soul (the Siddha) has such an eye. The ascetic (muni, sramana) who treads the path that leads to the status of the Liberated Soul (the Siddha) has the Scripture, the Doctrine of Lord Jina, as his eye. He determines the nature of the self and the non-self with this eye – the Scripture. Although the object-ofknowledge (jñeya) and the knowledge (jñāna) become one, the ascetic discriminates between these as per their individual marks (laksana) with the help of the Scripture. With the strength of this discrimination he is able to conquer his staunch enemy, delusion (moha). He then attains the pure-soul and gets established forever in infinite knowledge. It is for this reason that the ascetic (muni, śramaņa), treading the path to liberation, sees only through the eye of the Scripture.
