Jain darshan ke anusaar Keval Gyan swayam mein ek hi prakar ka hota hai – yeh sarvagyata (anant, poorn gyan) hai. Iske alag–alag “prakaar” nahin bataye gaye, balki:

1. Gyan ke 5 prakar bataye gaye hain:

1) Mati Gyan 2) Shrut Gyan 3) Avadhi Gyan 4) Manahparyav Gyan 5) Keval Gyan (Pancham Gyan) ( jainknowledge.com)

Inmein se paanchva aur sabse uchch gyan – Keval Gyan hai.

1. Kabhi–kabhi granthon mein Kevali jeev (jis ko Keval Gyan ho chuka hai) ke do avastha ka zikr milta hai:

- Sayogi Kevali – jismein shareer, indriya, kriya adi ka upyog chal raha ho - Ayogi Kevali – jab antim samay par saari yog kriya band ho jaati hai aur turant moksh ho jata hai

Lekin yah Keval Gyan ke “do prakar” nahin, balki Kevali jeev ki do avastha ke roop mein samjha jata hai.

Isliye, sahi baat yeh hai:

• Keval Gyan ka ek hi prakar hai – anant, poorn, nirvikalp sarvagyata.
• Yeh panch prakar ke gyan mein sabse upar ka, pancham gyan hai.
