________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir 73 cheese is good and according to the other cheese is bad. Which shall I accept as true of these two?” The priest smiled and said, “ Both the views are true but accepting any one of them as true depends on circumstances. If there is cheese in the house, accept the first view as true and if there is no cheese, accept the second view” This is the reply of one who acts aecording to Syadvada. A person who believes in Syadvada must be careful at every step in life. That is why the great acharyas respected the Anekanthavad and said: जेण विणा लोगस्सवि ववहारो सव्वहा न निव्वडई। तस्स भुवणेक्क गुरुणो णमो अणेगंतवायस्स ॥ Jena Vina logassavi vavaharo Savvaha na nivvadai Thassa bhuvanekka guruno namo aneganthavayassa I offer my adorations to Anekanthavad without which the activities of life cannot go on; and which is the only giver of true light in life. The same man is husband, father, son and brother at the same time. He is the husband of his wife ; father of his children; son of his father and brother of his brothers.
