The courtier agreed with him entirely. Astonished, the king exclaimed, "But just now you praised it. How can the food be both good and bad?" The courtier replied, "Sire, I draw my sustenance from food. I also draw my sustenance from you."
This becomes the situation: when we start drawing our sustenance from language, intellect and thinking, then we lose contact with truth. We go away from truth. In the world of language there is no way of getting in touch with truth except through relativity. Each statement is relative and we should try to understand their relativity. The question is why should we understand it so? There is sufficient reason for that. Its basis is the rule of the primarysecondary nature of attributes. There are two aspects of truth about any object. One is the secondary attribute and the other the primary attribute. One is the manifested aspect or mode, the other the unmanifested aspect or mode.
