Chey Shishurudh
Tas abhipray ladha vina, chhadmasthane lagar; pratikshep tasayukt na, par mahanakar. 139
Meaning: Therefore, without knowing the opinion of the wise, it is not appropriate to oppose the false saint who is the cause of great suffering.
Commentary
“Sab shastranake nay dhari hiye, mat mandan khandan bhed liye;
Vahu sadhan khar anat karya, tadapi kachhu haju na paan’–Shreemad Rajchandraji.
As mentioned above, due to these reasons, it is not appropriate for the false saints who are ignorant to oppose the wise without knowing their opinion. What kind of opposition is this? It is the one that causes great suffering. Regarding the resolution of the differences in the various schools of thought, as mentioned above, what is the intention of the omniscient? Without understanding this, it is not appropriate for the ignorant, i.e., the false saints who are seekers of truth, to oppose them. Because the knowledge of the false saints is covered and very limited. The false saints without omniscience are truly blind! They conduct their affairs with the help of scriptural knowledge, which is like a blind man's stick. Just as a blind man feels around to identify an object, this scriptural knowledge is like a blind man's touch. How can the false saints see and know the truth with this? Therefore, it is not surprising that the false saints cannot illuminate the meaning of the subject of omniscience, but it is truly amazing that they know anything at all!

Nashcharyamevavatyapurna tu kishishi veshi.” Shree Siddhasen Divakachchh Murti Dvadvad. 8-11
Furthermore, the schools of thought with their different views are also fundamentally rooted in the omniscient, they arise from it, and therefore they are also part of the omniscient. Thus, the six main schools of philosophy are also integral to the teachings of the omniscient, and opposing them is truly opposing the omniscient. Shree Anandghanji's immortal words are:
