Jaina Story | Elephant And Blind Men | Philosophy Syadvada | Best Religeous Teachings | Hindu | Islam | Christianity | Buddhism | Jainism | Atheism | Constitution *** When one is following the path of spirituality, one cannot hold an exclusivist attitude towards religion. That is my take on spirituality vs religion debate. Personally, I am an atheist and yet I learn from all religions alike. In this video, I have put forth the famous "elephant & the 6 blind men" story of Jainism. Apart from that I have tried to give my position of atheism through the idea of "Constitutional Patriotism". On the question of best religion, I say that as of now, for me, the Constitution of India is the best religion to follow. But then its up to people what they choose for themselves. And the constitution allows everyone to do just that. *** Syādvāda is the theory of conditioned predication, the first part of which is derived from the Sanskrit word syāt, which is the third person singular of the optative tense of the Sanskrit verb as (Sanskrit: अस्), 'to be', and which becomes syād when followed by a vowel or a voiced consonant, in accordance with sandhi. The optative tense in Sanskrit (formerly known as the 'potential') has the same meaning as the present tense of the subjunctive mood in most Indo-European languages, including Hindi, Latin, Russian, French, etc. It is used when there is uncertainty in a statement; not 'it is', but 'it may be', 'one might', etc. The subjunctive is very commonly used in Hindi, for example, in 'kya kahun?', 'what to say?'. The subjunctive is also commonly used in conditional constructions; for example, one of the few English locutions in the subjunctive which remains more or less current is 'were it ०, then ०', or, more commonly, 'if it were..', where 'were' is in the past tense of the subjunctive. Syat can be translated into English as meaning "perchance, may be, perhaps" (it is). The use of the verb 'as' in the optative tense is found in the more ancient Vedic era literature in a similar sense. For example, sutra 1.4.96 of Panini's Astadhyayi explains it as signifying "a chance, maybe, probable". In Jainism, however, syadvada and anekantavada is not a theory of uncertainty, doubt or relative probabilities. Rather, it is "conditional yes or conditional approval" of any proposition, state Matilal and other scholars. This usage has historic precedents in classical Sanskrit literature, and particularly in other ancient Indian religions (Buddhism and Hinduism) with the phrase syad etat, meaning "let it be so, but", or "an answer that is 'neither yes nor no', provisionally accepting an opponent's viewpoint for a certain premise". This would be expressed in archaic English with the subjunctive: 'be it so', a direct translation of syad etat. Traditionally, this debate methodology was used by Indian scholars to acknowledge the opponent's viewpoint, but disarm and bound its applicability to certain context and persuade the opponent of aspects not considered.
