________________ UNITY IN DIFFERENCE. that the self and the body also stand in relation of unity in difference-Bhedabheda. But we, the Jains, hold this to be an uncritical observation in as much as it is not based on right interpretation of the true nature of co-ordination establishing the bhedabheda relation. The correct interpretation is that all reality is determined by states of consciousness not sublated by valid means of proof. The imagination however of the identity of the self and the not-self (body) is sublated by all means of proof applicable to the self it is in fact no more valid than the imagination of the snake in the rope and does not therefore prove the identity of the two. The co-ordination, on the other hand, which is meant by the judgment 'the cow is short horned' is never observed to have been disproved in any way and hence establishes the doctrine of Unity in Difference (भेदाभेदवाद). 171 Defutation of the objec tion and establish ment of the bhedá bheda Relation.
