General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha SutraRajumati (रजुमति, “simple”) refers to a category of knowledge obtained through telepathy (manaḥparyaya), according to Tattvārthasūtra 1.23. Manaḥparyaya refers to one of the five types of knowledge (jñāna) , according to Tattvārthasūtra 1.9.
What is ‘simple telepathy’ (rajumati)? Simple telepathy is the knowledge which knows simple concrete objects of thought in other’s mind. What is the difference between ‘simple (rajumati) and complex (vipulamati) telepathy’? Purity (viśuddhi) of the soul is lesser in simplex kind and greater in complex kind. Complex attribute is infallible (apratipāta) (does not disappear) and stays with its owner till the owner attains liberation while simple attribute may fall and leave its owner.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
