It means: All the schools of thought are covered within the school of the omniscient Lord, while the Lord's concept may or may not be covered in a particular school.

Änandghanji attributes the highest status to Jainism, not because he was a Jain monk. Jainism stands the highest, because it presents the whole truth after taking into consideration all the viewpoints; it synthesizes all of them. This will be clear from the questions and answers that are going to follow. It will be seen that the pupil presents all possible questions that have been raised by different viewpoints and the Guru gives satisfying replies from the right viewpoint. The pupil is the real truth seeker, and Guru's replies to his questions put his doubts to rest. It is therefore said here that these six Fundamentals have been described for elucidating the ultimate truth.
