________________ 120 Hermann Kuhn SUTRA 33 नैगमसंग्रहव्यवहारर्जुसूत्रशब्दसमभिरूद्वैवंभूता नयाः ॥ ३३॥ Naigama sangraha vayvahara rjusutra sabda samabhirudhaivambhuta nayah (33) Knowledge from partial sights (naya) is gained in seven steps: 1 - outlining an indistinct experience (naigama) 2 - recognizing the interconnected whole behind the experience (sangraha) 3 - identifying its functional elements (vyavahara) 4 - asserting what really manifests in the present (rju sutra) 5 - deepening the insight by verbally describing it (sabda) 6 - condensing this conscious insight into one clear image (samabhirudha) 7 - integrating this one clear image into our con sciousness (evambhuta). (33) Partial sights (naya) produce knowledge by examining a limited part of reality from a particular perspective. Partial sights illuminate special conditions or special qualities of objects or events. Partial sights focus our attention on one particular aspect of reality like looking through a magnifying glass. The deeper and the more precise we penetrate a partial aspect, the deeper and clearer will be our comprehension of the entire level of reality of which this aspect is a part.
