It is not right to disregard everyone simply by calling them inert. We bow down to temples, holy places, Samavasaranas, all instruments related to the Supreme Soul, fragrant water, and many other inert substances. Just as it is right to do so with those intentions, it can also be right with the intentions of this time. However, if motivated by this desire, we always bow down to heaven or something similar, or if we consider that tree as a deity and bow down to it whenever it comes into our sight, it is certainly foolishness. People who worship the Peepal tree always or on special days are also foolish. From these things, the statement of the blind does not seem incorrect. For those who consider the image of the liberated soul, its hymns, and the rituals of installation as inappropriate, everything is inappropriate. They consider even the Yajnopaveet Sanskar inappropriate, let alone tree worship. The essence of what is being said is that every statement is relative. If we remove the relativity from them and consider them, then contradictions will appear in all the subjects of Jainism. And if we consider them with the same relativity, then the contradiction will not be known. Take the example of Vyavahar Nay and Nishchay Nay. Without practice, theory is not effective, and without theory, practice is not effective. In one place, the householder's life, sons, etc., are highly praised. In other places, they are considered despicable. Is this not a contradiction? But if we consider it with relativity, there is not even a speck of contradiction. Similarly, the giving of offerings to the sun, worship of trees, giving charity on Sankranti, bathing in the Ganges and Yamuna, etc., are considered bad with those expectations. It is certainly bad to do these things with those expectations. And with those expectations where these are not prohibited, it is not bad to do them either. It is only necessary to consider the place.
**Verse 53:**
A virtuous soul who wears the Yajnopaveet should perform the evening rituals, such as bowing, etc., in all three periods, i.e., morning, noon, and evening, after a year has passed.
**Verse 54:**
It is said that a traveler should wear two Yajnopaveets, and others should wear two. Only one is considered pure for those who are celibate for a limited period.
**Verse 55:**
Two Yajnopaveets should be worn for worship and charity. The third is for the upper garment, and it is desired in the absence of clothes.
**Verse 56:**
The Brahma Sutra, from the thread to the end, is pure. If it is shorter, there will be illness and poverty; if it is longer, there will be destruction of Dharma.
**Verse 57:**
One who desires longevity should wear two or three Yajnopaveets. One who desires sons should wear five. One who desires Dharma should also wear five.
