Jain World view with reference to knowledge of current scientific studies * Ruling reality can be approached according to Jain precepts in three steps. 1) S-A-T First and foremost is SAT that is the undeniable truth of Existence. So SAT to the final reality, which can neither be escaped nor avoided. In fact it is the existence itself that includes being, becoming, blooming etc. Sat is factual and so it is selfevidnet, revealing. Asat is nothingness, noneity and hence is non-existence and absolutely non-provable. Meta-physically Sat is Abheda (Indivisible) so to say unified, undivided, unhampered, Absolute. 2) DVAITA : Now this Sat is both manifest and unmanifaniest It is the duality of existence which is seeable and non-seeable through senses or otherwise i.e. by sense organs including its instrumental extension thereto or totally without by them and yet Sat both are as much a part of real factuality. Again there' are Jada(Non-life) and Chetana (Life forms). World view also presents of life with Sasvata and Asasvata(vanishing) scenario. More pressing is the forces of Sasvata (eternality) and Asasvata (Dissipation). Advaita is beyond Dvaita. Dvaita differentiates and hence is susceptible to Bheda, The Route from Bheda(division) to Abheda (Indivisibility) is Bheda Jnana(wisdom/discretion)
(3) TRIPADI : Trio of these effectual ties * is called Tripadi (tri- pad virtual reality) as approached in three steps. It covers the entire spectacle Triloka system of cosmos with શાનધારા
