ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Abhijna

Abhijna is a Sanskrit word that means "supernatural power" or "knowing everything". It's a term used in Hindu mythology and is related to spirituality and enlightenment. Think of it like having superpowers - except not in a comic book way.

Imagine you’re a superhero who has the power to know everything about everything. You can know things like how to solve hard math problems, remember people’s names you’ve only met once, what’s in the mind of others before they say anything or what’s going to happen in the future.

In religion, it means that an individual has achieved an advanced state of spirituality and has a deep understanding of the secrets of the universe. It is believed that people who have achieved abhijna have special abilities to see and understand things that others cannot, and to gain special insights that can help them in their journey towards enlightenment.

In short, Abhijna is like having an advanced level of knowledge, insight, and perception that few people can attain without years of deep spiritual practice and dedication.
