From Heterogeneousness to Homogeneousness :
This movement should clearly be from in-harmony to harmony. Solution of the incongruities studied in the light of knowledge has to be found out from the equanimous behaviour. If an individual does not allow the darkness of incongruities to spread in mind, speech or whatever field of iperformance, then the unevenness will not be stabilized in the social life. That is only possible when the doctrines of Non-violence and 'Anekant (many foldness of truth) are minutely put into practice.
Primarily there are two kinds of collisions to fragment the sentiments of Equanimity. The first is the collision of self interests and the second of thoughts. The stratum of Non-violence is not (to cause any kind of injury by mind, word or act to any living being or any of its vital forces, on the contrary to extend relief or protection. A non-violent person will forgo his self interest but will never agree to cause even the slightest injury to any body. The repressive weapon against the clashes of self-interest is non-violence, while 'Anekant' Doctrine wards off the collision of thoughts. This doctrine impells us to grasp the ingredient of truth contained in every body's view and reach the highest stage of complete truth by collecting these fragments of truth.
