________________ the potentiality of accomplishment, but the secret of this transition certainly lies permeated in the dignity of action. No transition ushers in without dynamism. If one knows the medicine to cure a scorpion-bite but if he does not apply that medicine when a scorpion actually bites and keeps on boasting of that knowledge only, then, will the scorpion's poison vanish ? No. Same is the case of heterogeneousness. Knowledge has been acquired to remove heterogeousness but how can it vanish without putting that knowledge into practice. And with the negative experiment of removing heterogeneousness, afflrmative experiment of adopting homogeneousness, should also be put into action. When with the negative.aspect of removing heterogeneousness the affirmative aspect of adopting homogeneousness will activate, then, the wheel of transition will rotate speedily. 21 Maxims of Equanimous Conduct : There can be several aspects or form of the Equanimous conduct, but after Synthesizing all the ingredients and circumstances. by way of their essence, the composition of these 21 maxims has been evolved with this objective that by taking recourse to them on the path of conduct profound accomplishment of Equanimity can be commenced. In these 21 maxims an attempt has been made to bring out a paceful and harmonious union of the internal impulses and outward action of a man upto the comprehensive field of the Universe. This should be taken as granted that if an accomplisher of Equanimity becomes dynamic by collectively taking these 21 maxims as the basis, then, he will be able to achieve success on the higher levels of accomplishments. 167 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
