Can you explain the new thought activity (Adhah Karan) by example?
For example, King Devdatta has 3072 people working for him in sixteen different departments as depicted below.
DEPARTMENT
PEOPLE WORKING IN DEPARTMENT
1ST
2ND
3RD 4TH
162 166 170 174
5TH
178
6TH
182
7TH
8TH 9TH 10TH
11 TH

| 186 190 194 198 202 206 | 210 214 218 222
14TH 15TH 16TH
In the first department, the first person's salary is 1 rupee. The second one has 2 rupees, etc. Thus, the 162d man's salary will be 162 rupees in the first department. In the second department, the first person's salary is 40 rupees, the second person's 41 and the third person's 42, etc.; Thus 166" man has a salary of 205 rupees. In the third department, the first person's salary is 80 rupees, the second 81, etc., so the last person's salary is 249 rupees. In the fourth department, there are 174 people working. The first person's salary is 121 and the second person's salary is 122, etc., thus the last person's salary is 294 rupees. Thus, in increasing order, the sixteenth department has 222 people working. The first person in the 16th department receives a salary of 691 rupees and the 222nd a salary of 912 rupees salary. In this example, the first 39 people's salary does not match anybody elses and the last 67 people's salary, also does not match anybody else. The rest of the people may have similar salaries as a person in another department. This is the way the similarity and dissimilarity of the different diespositions is found in the new thought activity stage (Adhah karan). For further explanation, please refer to the chapter of Guna sthanak in Gommatsar's book.
