anekanta is opened, one realizes that neither is birth the truth nor death. They become true only when they are accompanied by permanence. Unless the eternal is added to any argument, truth cannot be arrived at. And unless the whole picture is before us, we cannot find the truth. The third eye should open, the eye of permanence should open.
Man is male and female
A gentleman asked, “Girls become boys and boys, girls. Sex change is brought about. Is this true? Is it possible?”
I said that it was not impossible. If we look at them with only two eyes, then it is impossible. Because till now we have seen that a boy is born as one and dies as one and similarly a girl is born as one and dies as a girl too. Our two eyes are used to categorize a boy as the male and a girl as the female. We have not seen a girl change into a boy or a boy change into a girl. So with our present vision we find it impossible to imagine. To see the reality the third eye is necessary. The eye of anekanta is necessary. If we look through the eyes of anekanta, it will seem possible. No possibility will seem remote.
