Multi-dimensional Application of Anekantavāda
every individual in a society becomes Anekānti, it will definitely reflect upon the outlook of every individual as well as society. To bring in this change of outlook in society form Ekāntito Anekānti, first every individual has to become Anekānti. Then every Anekānti has to start behaving as Anekānti, i.e. to show equal regard and respect for all persons and their attitudes in society. In other words to develop the spirit of tolerance, co-operation and brotherhood. For a true Anekānti, this task should be very easy. Once Anekānti culture is nourished the society will be bright and will be full of peace and tranquillity
For a woman to be Anekānti in modern times is utmost necessary. In today's world, women mainly face a problem or dilemma whether to do household work or to take a job or a service. In this scenario, most women choose one of them and say good-bye to another. Instead of doing so, they have to divide their time at home and at service. It can be argued that their scope in this case will become limited in both the fields. But in reality their scope will increase two-fold in both the fields. The experience of being in time at service will make the woman do work on time at home and with precision. The practical experience of being a housewife and running the house will help her in the job or service to invent something new or to say, to do the best work possible in the limited time with limited things at hand. It is said that women are at the back of every great individual. So, too here once a woman becomes anekānti, her husband will also start changing, first towards his wife, then towards his friends and colleagues and finally towards the society. It is a slow process and takes its own time and the time period will vary from person to person.
Through women anekāntis, half of the population can become anekānti and for the rest to become anekāntis, saints and leaders may play a major role. These two are opposite personalities in the sense that saints listen to everyone and leaders listen to no one. But, the work that both do is same, to tell others what to do and what not to do. Their approaches to the people may vary, but once they turn anekānti, no doubt, there will be an Anekānta revolution.
The best way to influence saints to change their attitude towards Anekānta will be to draw their attention in writing on a particular issue
