In the Jain terapanth Agam they say you find knowledge about everything is that true ?
Short answer: No. In Jainism, only a Kevalī (Arihant/Tīrthankar) has complete, direct, all‑comprehensive knowledge (Keval‑jñān). The Āgams are the recorded teachings that guide us to liberation; they do not claim to be an encyclopedia of every worldly detail.
- What the Āgams cover: right faith, right knowledge, right conduct; vows and ethics; karma theory; meditation and discipline; cosmology and categories of reality. This is “complete” for the purpose of spiritual progress, not “everything” about all sciences or worldly subjects.
- Terāpanth (a Śvetāmbara tradition) stresses living strictly by the Āgams and their commentarial tradition. It upholds that the Tīrthankar’s Keval‑jñān is infinite, while the scriptures are its practical, teachable expression meant for liberation.
- Traditional difference:
So, if someone says “in the Terāpanth Āgams you’ll find knowledge about everything,” the correct Jain understanding is: the Āgams contain everything necessary for the path to mokṣa, not every fact about the world.
