Anekāntavāda - II

Truth and reality are perceived differently from diverse points of view, and no single point of view is the complete truth.Reality possesses infinite characteristics, which cannot be perceived or known at once.

Anekāntavāda - the theory of multiplicity of viewpoints and non - absolutism and its two wings , Syādvāda - the theory of conditioned predication and Nayavāda - the theory of partial standpoints are the core doctrines of relativity based on logic and reasoning.

Reality is characterized by a simultaneous operation of  origination, destruction and permanence. Any object of knowledge must have three inseparable aspects - a permanent substance (inherent qualities), destruction (abandonment of old shape) and origination (acquisition of a new shape) .
