Opposing forces are acting in the creation of the body, in the creation of nature, in the creation of the atom or in that of electricity. They function simultaneously. In the world of electricity, both the negative and the positive work together. If there were only the positive and no negative, then no electricity would be produced. It is compulsory for both the positive and the negative to exist for electricity to be produced. The positive and the negative are two types of energies.
Opposing pairs
Our entire existence is then characterized by opposing pairs. The attribute and its opposition are both necessary. Either of them by itself is of no use. Their combination makes for success.
On the basis of anekanta it has been found that if there is the world, there is also the anti-world. This is a strange situation. The vision of the world or our life system is got from many philosophies but that of anti-world is found only in the world of anekanta.
