Applied Philosophy Of Anekanta: 2.9 Transgressions occurring in Acceptance of Absolute Cessation of Reality

Kundkunda says that those who assert mere cessation or destruction of Reality, two-fold transgressions may occur in that case. Firstly, there will be a lack of destruction at all, because the pot originates due to destruction of clay, i.e., if one accepts absolute destruction only, then lack of destruction will prove because destruction cannot take place bereft of origination. Secondly, the reality will cease. If mere destruction of soul reality is asserted, then the knowledge, intuition- virtues of soul also will cease.In that case, there will not be any kind of retention at all.^[1]
