The difficulty with most of us is that we do not want to look for truth anywhere else except in our own books For the curious persons who desire to see similarites obtaining between different systems, "The Essential Unity of all religions" compiled by Bhagwandas is a mine of information, The World Gospel Series edited by Duncan Greenless, too, is handy 2 Syadvada or Anekantavada It is the seven fold syadvada logic of the Jains the different forms of predicative judgment A science which can dispassionately scrutinise the diverse doctrines and which can reconcile the apparently inconsistent, is known as the science of Syadvada, Sapekshavada, Nyayavada, and Anekantavada. See Anekantavada by Shree Harisatya Bhattacharya and also the Philosophy of Mahavira by Kamtaprasad Jain (The Tlustrated Weekly of India, No 25, 1956) “The Seven-fold prediction takes into account not only the formal but also the material conditions of validity of a judgment" -Foreword by Prof J B Dave to "Anekantavada" 3 See the published lecture Have to Jago' Ch 3 'I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you your way'—Munijee's favourite aphorism 4 The Varieties of Religrous Experience by Prof Willam James 5 Lectures IV & V-The Religion of Healthymindedness by Prof William James
