(a). Without going into the details of these, we can say in short that all the Jeevas except Arihant and Siddha have Mati Dnyan and Shrut Dnyan.

The knowledge about certain Pudgal matter for specific short period of time, and within a specific area that is to say with the specific limitations of Dravya, Kshetra, Kaal and Bhava of Pudgal substances is called Avadhi Dnyan. This is a direct knowledge without any help from the sensory organs and is very clear knowledge as happening right in front of him.
Some true monks have power or capacity to know the thoughts in other's mind, regarding the Roopit substances i.e. Pudgal. It is called Manah Paryay Dnyan ( मन:पर्यय ज्ञान ).
And Keval Dnyan means the capacity to know everything. That is in one samayi.e. at any one particular moment to know directly and clearly the infinite substances in the cosmos, infinite attributes of each substance and infinite modifications of past, present and future of each attribute and each modification with its infinite units of power i.e. Avibhag Pratichheda अविभाग प्रतिच्छेद is Keval Dnyan.

All this means that they know which modification is taking place when and which one will be following next. Again at that same time what would be the status of the other substances, what would be the time with reference to the Kaal Dravya, what would be the instrumental causes for that modifications, all these things are present in their knowledge at the same time.
This indicates that all things and situations are definitely systematically predetermined. So some one may say, "My God! Then
