## Karma Vipaka
Karma Vipaka encompasses all knowable objects without any assistance, meaning it doesn't require the mind, senses, body, or scientific instruments. It possesses the power to directly perceive all knowable objects, both formless and formed, tangible and intangible, like a universal perceiver. Therefore, it is called Keval Jnana (Omniscience).
These five types of knowledge - Mati Jnana, Shruta Jnana, Avadhi Jnana, Mana:paryaya Jnana, and Keval Jnana - are the powers of the soul. Among these, the first two - Mati Jnana and Shruta Jnana - are considered indirect knowledge (Paroksha Pramana) because they require assistance. However, Avadhi Jnana, Mana:paryaya Jnana, and Keval Jnana are direct knowledge (Pratyaksha Pramana). These three types of knowledge arise solely from the soul's inherent ability, without the aid of the mind or senses.
Although Avadhi Jnana and Mana:paryaya Jnana perceive tangible objects, they are unable to comprehend their complete essence due to the incomplete development of their consciousness. Therefore, these two types of knowledge are called Vikal-Pratyaksha (Partial Direct Knowledge). In contrast, Keval Jnana simultaneously perceives all objects, including their past, present, and future states. Hence, Keval Jnana is called Sakal-Pratyaksha (Complete Direct Knowledge).
Keval Jnana is devoid of any incompleteness or distinction because there is no object or its associated state that remains unknown to it.
