the self only (here the self includes all the knowlege of reality). Hence a perfect consciousness with the four infinities perceives every thing of the universe simultanecusly and completely by a single cognition. Since the whole universe is perceived simultaneously by a single cognition the restrictions imposed by space time and finite speed of light etc. do not come into picture. So the above partially conserved physical variables need not be used to describe the the natural phenomena. Hence the corresponding approximations do not arise. Furthermore since from the transcendental point of view there is no difference between the knower and his knowledge there is nothing like interaction between knower and his object which is necessary in a scientific measurement. Finally since all phenomena are studied simultaneously interactions between different phenomena are automatically taken into consideration. This is obvious from the fact that one who has understood the "self", has undertood the whole universe. Furthermore since the real knowledge cannot be expressed in any language this takes care of Godel's theorems.
We conclude our whole discussion by two statements. First, the idea of Jainism that knowledge is structured in the consciousness is a very outstanding principle ever formulated and secondly the concept that to understand various phenomena of nature one should understand the self is the most remarkable concept which may slove almost all the problems which we are presently facing because of tremendous materialistic development.
