________________
THE DOCTRINE OF SYADVAD. the jar is and is not and is indescribable as well in a certain sense.
In the seventh form, one speaks of what the thing is and is not and that it is impossible to express both at the same moment. In the Form III, we have seen how the true nature of a thing implies being as well as non-being or positive as well as 'negative aspects. The only point in which it differs from the third form is this that while agreeing with the former in every respect, it goes further and says that we cannot describe because it involves contradictory elements. This latter point we have discussed at length in the Form II. In this form we get a reconciliation of the fifth and the sixth forms already discussed.
