श्रीमद् विजयराजन्द्रसूरि-स्मारक-प्रथ Omniscient, a Soul on the way to liberation may be possessed of a kind of knowledge, just before its final emancipation, which may be called Omniscienoe. The author of the Yöga-Sūtras calls it. Pratibha' and the Sankhya also believes in its possibility. According to Patanjali, one possessed of the Pratibha' has the knowledge of all things. “ Pratibhadva Sarvam.” Yoga-Sūtram, Bibhuti-padah, 34.
-Upon which Bhoja-raja comments, – Yathodesyati Savitari pūrvam prabbs Pradurbhavati tadvadvivikakhyatēḥ Pūrvam tarakam Sarva-Visayam,
“Jñanamabirbhavati. " Just as immediatly before the sun-rise a brilliant glow is visible in the sky. In the same manner just before the rise of Vivëka-khváti or consciousness of emancipation, there arises the knowledge, called . Taraka. 'Through ( To ) this Taraka knowledge, all things are known. This Taraka is otherwise called the 'Pratibha.'
VI. The Stage Penultimate To Liberation : And Omniscience:
The Sānkhya View. The Sankhya school of philosophers attribute to the Yögi's or sages, & supernatual mode of perception, in which all things and phenomena of all places and of all times are cognised and they account for it in this way. The Yogi's or seers, through their penances and self-perfection attain a power by which they come in direct contact with the Pradhana, the potential basis of all things: as all things evolve from the Pradbana and on their dissolution enter into it, the Pradhana is the real substance in which all phinomena live, move and have their being. By seeing' the Pradbāna, one sees all things evolving out of it. It is thus that the Yogi's being in contact with the universal basis of all things through their supernatural attainment aro enabled to perceive all things.
