becomes less intense and possibility of gaining insights from the experience are increased. This method of spiritual rehabilitation is a type of counselling known as auditing, in which practitioners aim to consciously re-experience painful or traumatic events in their past in order to free themselves of their limiting effects. Better understanding of the self is possible through the process of retrospection. A person who retrospects and unravels his memories till its roots, knows the mysteries of life.
3. Clairvoyance: Mahavira said, "Mind has many layers and so the mode to know.”
The object of knowledge and knowledge are both independent. Mere knowing does not lead to knowledge. Knowing is an activity, an effort. The substance, the attribute and the mode can be knowledge according to the capability of knowledge. The senses and the mind are the media of knowing. The ability of these two is limited and cannot know the true nature. The eyes have a limitation and so do the five senses have a limitation. One only knows what is within one's frequency range. He does not know everything but do know something. Only one mode (part) can be known at a time.But an object can be known simultaneously, all at a time only by unobstructed consciousness or self.
Human senses and mind are preoccupied and mind is engrossed in small petty things, which limit their capacity. Birds and animals are all innocent. They could smell things, sense things that a human mind could not. When senses and mind are not engrossed the subtle senses start working. To know the things by the subtle senses is called Clairvoyance.
