श्रीमद् विजयराजेन्द्रसरि-स्मारक-ग्रंथ The Omniscience of a liberated Soul thus consists in the fact that it has the power to know at once, whatever it wants to know-and not that all the 008 mio things and phenomena are ever present in i consciousness. The Omniscience of the Lord, however, is not of this sort. His Omniscience is eternal; in it are ever present all the objects and occurrences of all times and places.
