________________ THE NOTION OF GROWTH tive and direct our attention to one single aspect, like a magnifying glass. Partial sights play a vital role in the communication of insights. They define exactly the range in which an insight is valid and thereby prevent confusion, uncertainty and misunderstanding. Partial sights (nayas) are structured. They are valid for only one of the four planes of reality24, i.e. either - on the plane of articulation, where we use names and terms for the purpose of communication and social mechanisms (nama) - or 53 on the plane of mental structure, where we form our individual reality (sthapana) - or - - on the plane of all potentially possible features of the elements, the basis for the identical perception of reality by different people (dravya) - or - - on the plane of present manifestation, where individual features of the elements (or a combination of them) manifest in the actual present (bhava). 24 see sutra 5 Partial sights further relate either to -the non-changing, general qualities of the elements (dravyartika), or to Jain Education International - their constantly changing variations, aspects, forms etc. (paryayarthika). Sutra 33 describes seven easy steps to obtain clear insight into reality through partial sights (nayas). * For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
