Jainism ke anusar, kevalgyan (कैवल्य ज्ञान) prapt karne wale vyakti "Kevali" kehlate hain. Ye wo log hote hain jo apne man, vachan, aur kaya par poorn niyantran pa lete hain, sabhi karmon ka kshay kar lete hain aur samyak darshan, samyak gyaan, aur samyak charitra se yukta hote hain.

Jain dharm ke 24 Tirthankar, jaise ki Lord Mahavir, Rishabhdev, Parshvanath, adi, sabhi ne apne man par sahi niyantran (self-control) aur sahi sadhana ke dwara hi kevalgyan prapt kiya tha.

Kevalgyan prapt karne ke liye man ko vishayon, asatya, krodh, maan, maya, lobh se door rakhna avashyak hai. Niyamit dhyan, tapa, aur ahimsa ka palan karte hue hi koi vyakti kevalgyan prapt kar sakta hai.

Is prakar, Jain dharm ke anusar jo apne man ko sahi disha me laga kar, us par niyantran pa kar, sabhi ashubh karmon ka kshay kar deta hai, wahi kevalgyan prapt karta hai.
