Quote, "One of the important aspects of Jainism is the concept
of Anekantwad, or the principle of plurality of viewpoints. It
is central to the idea of tolerance and mutual respect. Each
person has a perception of the world which is a mix of both
truth and ignorance. These perceptions are valid but are
incomplete views of reality. This concept is usually explained
with the aid of the parable of seven blind men and an elephant.
The story demonstrates that truth can be visualized from seven
angles and these views of truth are mere additions to the human
knowledge. When viewed together, they present the picture of
universal reality"
