what can't judged by scientific means can't judged by any other rest are mind hallucination.
In Jainism, this statement is not accepted as true.
You said: “what can’t be judged by scientific means can’t be judged by any other, the rest are mind hallucination.”
From Jain view, this is not correct, for a few reasons:
---
1. Science is only one kind of knowing (pramāṇa)
Jainism accepts many valid ways of knowing truth (pramāṇa), such as:
- Pratyakṣa – direct experience (inner or outer)
- Through sense organs (eyes, ears, etc.) - Through inner experience of the soul (keval-jñān, avadhi-jñān, etc.)
- Parokṣa – indirect knowledge
- Inference (anumān) – reasoning - Testimony of trustworthy enlightened beings and scriptures (āgama)
Modern science mostly uses sense-based observation + instruments + reasoning. Jainism says: this is valid, but limited.

2. Science is limited to matter & measurable things
Science can study:
- Physical body
- Brain activity
- Measurable behavior
- Material world (dravya: pudgal)
But Jainism also speaks of:
- Soul (jīva) – conscious substance
- Karma – subtle non-gross matter binding the soul
- States of consciousness, spiritual progress, etc.
These are not always measurable by instruments, but can still be:
- Logically understood
- Directly experienced by a spiritually advanced soul
So, “not measurable by science” ≠ “hallucination” in Jainism.

3. Inner spiritual experience is not hallucination
In Jainism, when an Arihant or Kevali attains Keval-jñān (infinite knowledge):
- It is not imagination
- It is not hallucination
- It is the purest direct experience of reality by the soul, free from karma
Science cannot fully test or deny this, because:
- Science depends on instruments & senses (which themselves are limited and material)
- But Keval-jñān is beyond senses and beyond matter
Limited tools cannot decide about something that is beyond their range.

4. Anekāntavād: Many-sided truth
Jain principle anekāntavād says:
- Reality has many aspects
- One viewpoint (like “only science is valid”) is ekānt (one-sided) and thus incomplete
So Jainism would say:
- Scientific method is good and useful in its field
- But claiming “only what science can test is real” is itself unscientific and dogmatic
---
5. Jain view in simple form
From Jain perspective:
- Science is a valuable tool, but not the only tool.
- Things beyond scientific testing (like soul, karma, liberation)
- Calling all such things “hallucination” is against Jain teachings.
So, according to Jain Dharma, many real and important truths cannot be fully judged by scientific means, but they are still real and knowable by higher forms of knowledge.
