scientists like Newton, Faraday, and Einstein etc had extraordinary awareness (consciousness) to observe simple events in life and come up with original doctrines about the universe processes. This can also be supported by the worldwide use of the techniques of meditation to enhance the mental capabilities of the practitioners.
It would thus seem that spiritual purification will lead to enhance the manifestation capabilities (knowledge) of the practitioner proportionately. Unfortunately the serious spiritual practitioners are becoming conspicuous by their absence due to advancements and greater emphasis on material sciences.
5.0 Epilogue We have tried to understand Jain theory of knowledge and enhancement of knowledge capabilities by practicing of non violence, self restraint and then observing austerities 'Dhamo mangal mukhittam, ahinsa sanjamo tavo". In ancient times, we hear stories of rsis and munis acquiring several extraordinary powers through practice of code of conduct indicated above. Through this paper I propose to conduct experiments to see how the above can help us in enhancing our own knowledge capabilities.
