[ II. 32
*
It is logically proved that they are identical but the contradiction which is still there in the Canonical Literature is to be reconciled. Because when an omniscient sees, he cannot know and when he knows, he cannot see. In short, he cannot see and know at one and the same time. Such a statement which is found in the Sacred Books has got to be clearly explained.
SANMATI-TARKA
It has been logically proved once for all that one and the same Upayoga is responsible for both Jñana and Darsana. And that represents the true doctrine of the scriptures: When this doctrine is accepted as a standard doctrine every other is to be taken only relatively. So the doctrine which preaches succession and not the simultaneity of jñāna and Darsana is not the real Jaina doctrine and every other doctrine is non-jaina in its implication. It is not the case always that in a sacred literature of a particular creed, those doctrines only are described which are favourable. Sometimes the doctrines belonging to other creeds are also incidentally described, disproved and discarded. So the doctrine of Kramavada (succession of jñana and Darsana) is to be taken as belonging to the other creeds. 31.
