Jain dharm ke hisaab se:

Sabko gyan pradan karne wali asli vastu “Ātmā (jīv)” hai. Kyōnki:

• Gyan ka swabhāv sirf chetan dravya (jīv / ātmā) ka hai.
• Pudgal (paanch-bhautik padārth – sharīr, mann, vachan, dhvani, kitab, mobile, teacher, guru, shāstra, sab) khud gyanvān nahi hote,

• Jis bhi kevalī bhagwān, sadhu, guru, shāstra se hum seekhte hain,

Isliye seedha, saral uttar:

> Jo vastu sab jīvoṅ ko gyan deti hai, > vah “chetan ātmā” hi hai – > gyan usikā svarūp hai, baaki sab sādhak (madadgār) hain.
