Conclusion
followers, however, continued to stick to those standards without making out the implications thereof. That gave rise to the lifeless rituals prevalent within different sects and sub-sects. They are mechanically resorted to in the name of Vyavahär.
The essence of spiritual pursuit lies in gaining equanimity, which can be done by cultivating detachment and by destruction or pacification of defilements. Only that Vyavahär should therefore be resorted to, which leads to detachment and to calming down of defilements.
The absolute concept is useful only to those, who have experienced the purity of soul. The illusory identification with the body is the root cause of the worldly life and that identification cannot stop merely by talking about the absolute nature of soul. Aside from realizing the nature of soul, the absolute viewpoint should be helpful in leading to right practice. Otherwise it would be meaningless.
As it stands at present, there is lack of purpose in so-called Vyavahär. Similarly there hardly appears any cognizable spiritual development among those holding the absolute point of view. The situation is thus unsatisfactory and there is scope for improvement on both sides.
