“Two thousand, five hundred years ago, the Indian sage Mahavira defined the core tenets of the Jain religion, with a key principle being that of Anekantavada, or “many-sidedness.” It is an encouragement to be aware of a multiplicity of viewpoints, with a recognition that any single point of view is partial. As the meditation teacher S.N. Goenka says, “One sees things from only one angle, a partial view, which is bound to be distorted; and yet one accepts this view as the full truth.” —Viral Mehta: “Assuming Value Everywhere,” from Parabola, Volume 36, No 4., Winter 2011: “Many Paths, One Truth.”
