## Chapter 144: Description of the Six Substances, Five Astikayas, and the Four Types of Vision
**Verse 42:**
The description of the four types of vision: **Chakshu Darshan** (vision with eyes), **Achakshu Darshan** (vision without eyes), **Avadhi Darshan** (clairvoyance), and **Kevala Darshan** (omniscience).
**Commentary:**
This verse describes the names and nature of the different types of vision.
* **Chakshu Darshan:** Vision through the eyes.
* **Achakshu Darshan:** Vision through other senses and the mind.
* **Avadhi Darshan:** Clairvoyance, the ability to see beyond the limitations of the physical senses.
* **Kevala Darshan:** Omniscience, the complete and perfect knowledge of all things, past, present, and future.
The soul is inherently infinite and pervades all realms. However, due to the obscuring effects of karma, it experiences a limited perception of reality.
* **Chakshu Darshan:** When the obscurations of **Chakshu Darshan** are diminished, the soul perceives the material world through the eyes, but only in a limited and imperfect way.
* **Achakshu Darshan:** When the obscurations of **Achakshu Darshan** are diminished, the soul perceives both the material and non-material world through other senses and the mind, but still in a limited and imperfect way.
* **Avadhi Darshan:** When the obscurations of **Avadhi Darshan** are diminished, the soul perceives the material world directly, without the limitations of the physical senses.
* **Kevala Darshan:** When all obscurations are completely eliminated, the soul attains **Kevala Darshan**, the state of omniscience, and perceives all things in their entirety, without any limitations.
This is the description of the different types of vision.
