FUNCTIONING OF OCULAR, NON-OCULAR, CLAIRVOYANT AND OMNI-PERCEPTION


Now, on getting association of objects of touch, etc. with senses and mind, the perception that occurs in the form of appearance of mere existence (of something) in the first moment just before the occurrence of sensory knowledge is called Chakshu-Darshan and Achakshu-Darshan. The perception that occurs through the eye-sense is known Chakshu-Darshan (ocular perception); it is found in the four-sensed and five-sensed beings only. And the perception that occurs through the touch, tongue, nose, ears - these four senses and mind is called Achakshu-Darshan (non-ocular perception); it is found in the one-sensed, etc. beings as per their capacities.

Now on getting association of objects of clairvoyance the perception that occurs in the form of appearance of mere existence just before the occurrence of clairvoyance-knowledge is called Avadhi-Darshan (clairvoyance-perception). This is found only in them who possess Avadhi-Jnana, the clairvoyance-knowledge.

These Chakshu-Achakshu-Avadhi Darshans are to be known dependent similar to Mati-Jnana and Avadhi-Jnana. And Kewal-Darshan (omniperception) is itself the form of liberation; its existence is not found here.

Thus is found the existence (functioning) of Darshan (perception-attribute).
