The teachings of the great ones are based on the principle of **dravya-pradhan** (substance-oriented) and **paryaya-pradhan** (mode-oriented) **deshna** (discourse) for the benefit of the disciples.
(409) The **deshna** of these great ones is tailored to the individual disciple.
Because these great souls are the physicians of the disease of **bhavvyaadhi** (the cycle of birth and death), they use different methods of **deshna** to suit the disciple.
The **vivechana** (analysis) of the **gayos** (scriptures) is the same for all, but the style of explanation varies. The understanding of **syadvad** (the theory of maybe) is also true. - Shrimad Rajchandraji
The question arises: If all are one, why are their **deshna** so diverse? Why are there different styles?
The answer is that the **deshna** of Kapil, Buddha, and others, as well as the **gayos**, are tailored to the individual disciple. This is because these great souls are the physicians of the disease of **bhavvyaadhi**, the disease of the world.
Kapil, Sugat-Buddha, and other **darshanvadis** (philosophers) are considered omniscient, but their **deshna** (teachings) differ. What is the reason for this?
The great sage, the **shasakar** (ruler), has provided a logical explanation. It is this: The style of explanation is tailored to the specific disciple, to suit their nature, to benefit their soul, and to guide them appropriately.
Therefore, all of them have done so according to the nature of the disciple, in a way that benefits them and their soul. They have explained things in different ways. Their goal is to guide the disciple to the right path, to help them understand, and to bring them peace.
For example, if a disciple is an **anitya-vadi** (believer in impermanence) and says, "This body and everything in the world is impermanent, fleeting, and so is the soul. Then what is the purpose of this religion? Why should we practice it?" If such a disciple is afraid of impermanence and is **dravya-pradhan** (substance-oriented), then the great ones would use a **paryaya-pradhan** (mode-oriented) **deshna** to guide them. They would say, "Oh, **bhavy** (seeker)! Everything is eternal in its substance, and so is the soul."
