that is looted, then he would be ignorant about the reality and may be at a loss.
In the light of this learning we should follow the teachings of Jina. The omniscients reveal the truth through the real point of view as well as the relative point of view. We find some descriptions from the real point of view and some from the relative point of view in the scriptures. An understanding of all such descriptions in their proper perspective leads to a true and complete picture. If we do not understand the reality revealed by the real point of view, and simply take the literal meaning of the teachings described from the relative point of view, then we would be missing the truth and would be at a loss.
