________________ 37 Man becomes disappointed because he does not know the rules of anekanta. He forgets that no condition is permanent. Each condition keeps changing. If the condition of disease is presenting itself, we can turn it into a condition of health with our effort. If today the condition of sorrow is being manifested, then tomorrow it can be the condition of joy. One, who has the ability to accept this possibility will never face sorrow, will never fall ill. He will never spend his life in bed. He will awaken his dormant energy. There is a story in Sanskrit literature. A learned man came and told the king, “Your majesty, accept my greetings. I have come as your guest.” The king said, “Who invited you? Who invited such a tattered looking man?” The man said, “Your majesty, I am your brother. Why do I need an invitation?” The king was shocked. “How are you my brother? You are a fool. You are mad.” The man replied, “Your majesty, you have not recognized me. I am a cousin on your maternal side, not your brother.” The king said he did not understand. The man said, Apada ca mama mata, tave mata ca sampada Apat sampada bhaginyau tenaham tava bandhavah Anekanta: The Third Eye Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
