Pure Soul and its Infinite Treasure * 25
(e) In a gold ring, the word ‘ring' cannot encompass all
other forms of gold jewellery. Gold is yellow in colour. Many objects have yellow colour. Yellowness cannot entirely describe what is gold. Delhi is in South, North, East and West for a person in Kashmir, Tamilnadu, Punjab and Assam respectively. Inspite of indications of conflicting directions, Delhi is where it is.
The above logic is to be applied to all the substances in the Universe. All these substances possess mutually conflicting forms or properties. Reality is thus multifaceted. The above description of multifaceted reality has universal application for all conflicts.
In all the fields of knowledge such as medicine, physics, chemistry, economics, political science, sociology, etc., there are different schools of thought. Similarly, there are different schools of philosophy dealing with the same subject from different points of view and there is no scope for intolerance or conflicts. Using this omnipotent tool of multifaceted reality, many of our eternal questions of existence can be resolved and apparent contradictions eliminated. If people do this, the world will become a peaceful and happy place.
Pure Soul attains Moksha... and the same becomes Siddha
Acharya Kundakund, Pravanasar, Verse 274
