## **Knowledge of Karma and its Results**
**1. Avadhijnana**
Avadhijnana is the power to know the nature of an extended object, or it can also mean a limit. It is the power to perceive material objects directly, but not immaterial ones. This is its limit. Alternatively, Avadhijnana is the activity of the soul that directly perceives external objects.
**Manahparyaya Jnana**
Manahparyaya Jnana is the knowledge of the mental states of sentient beings, within their limits, without the need for senses or mind. Sentient beings think and contemplate any object in their minds. The knowledge that directly perceives the mental results of these thoughts is called Manahparyaya Jnana. When the mind contemplates any object, it takes on different forms depending on the nature of the object being contemplated. These forms are the permutations of the mind. Manahparyaya Jnana has the power to directly perceive these permutations.
A Manahparyaya Jnani does not know any external object, field, time, or material permutations, but when they come into someone's thoughts, they know the mental states. Just as a person sitting in a closed room can see a special ceremony taking place outside and the people and objects participating in it through television, but not otherwise, similarly, a Manahparyaya Jnani, through the eyes, indirectly perceives all living and non-living beings.
