Good (shubha) is considered ekantik (one sided view point); pure (shuddha) is considered anekant (all inclusive viewpoints). Moksha (ultimate liberation) is through anekant (all inclusive viewpoints). Anekant means no insistence; it accepts every truth. The path of the Vitraags (the enlightened ones who are free from attachment & hatred) is anekant (all inclusive viewpoints) and it is syadvaad (does not hurt any one’s viewpoint to the slightest extent).

Syadvaad means no religions’ foundation is hurt. It does not point out a ‘direct’ mistake of any religion.

To follow one’s own viewpoint, to insist that one’s viewpoint is only correct is called ekantik (one sided view point). The religion of the Vitraags (the enlightened ones) is called ‘anekant’ (all inclusive viewpoints). Religion that embraces all the view-points within itself is called Vitraag religion (religion of the enlightened ones).

Accepting both the real (the true self, pure soul) and the relative is called syadvaad (does not hurt any one’s viewpoint to the slightest extent).

The Soul is still and everything else with vibrations is non-still. Sachar (unsteady) and achar (still), the world is such sachar-achar (still-unstill). The one who attains the knowledge of achar (Still, the Pure Soul), also attains the knowledge of the sachar (that which is in motion, unsteady).

Wherever there is any unsteadiness (restlessness), there is worldly life (sansaar) there.

As much as a person is unsteady (restless), that much entanglements he shall create.

How can one know the Self (Soul) as long as one does not know the result of stillness (steadiness)?

Where there is no trace of restlessness (unsteadiness), therein lies the opinions of the Vitaraag Lords (the enlightened ones).
