Anekanta is a philosophy, a principle though which all the universal and transitory rules of the world can be explained. Some rules are universal. Some are changing. Some are fixed. Both kinds of rules go hand in hand because there is nothing on earth which has monopoly.Everything has its limits.
Time has its importance but it does not have monopoly. Effort is also of great importance but it is not the deciding factor either. Destiny and karma play an important role. Nobody has monopoly. All of them are complete within themselves and incomplete outside them. The knowledge of limits lends balance.
This world is one of conflicting benefits, of conflicting interests and conflicting ideas. If there were not a balance everything would go topsy-turvy. The body works because there is balance in it.

There are many glands in the body. They have different functions to perform and yet there is a mutual understanding and balance between them. As long as there is balance, the body is fine and once this balance is lost, trouble begins.

Today a discovery is made tomorrow it changes and accordingly so do the rules. To explore the rules of the conscious is very difficult.
