.: 803 :__D. C.-It is not possible to find an object which is similar or dissimilar to other objects or even to itself even in this life, and much less in the other.
All objects are found to be similar as well as dissimilar to other objects even in this life. So, it is no use holding the view that they are the same in the other life also. Similarly, all objects have permanent as well as transitory forms.
This idea is illustrated by an example stated below जह नियएहिं वि सरिसो न जुवा भुवि बाल-बुड्ढधम्महिं। जगओ वि समो सत्ताइएहिं तह परभवे जीवो॥२४९॥ (१७९७) Jaha niyaehim vi sariso na juyā bhuvi bāla-vuddhadhammehim i Jagao vi samo sattāiehim taha parabhave jîvo u 249 11 ( 1797) [ यथा निजकैरपि सदृशो न युवा भुवि बाल-वृद्धधर्मैः ।
