In English
I will now cite an example from daily experience. Ninety-nine percent of the boys and girls assembled here are used to going to a cinema. When you go to see a picture, you sit looking at the screen. One would not like to sit looking at a blank screen for too long a time. After some time, when pictures appear on the screen you feel relieved. But if the same pictures remain there, you feel impatient. You expect the pictures to change. Even as you feel that a set of pictures are real, they disappear and others come. The pictures are not real. Their disappearing and others appearing in their place is a reality. Thus, this is neither truth nor untruth. In Vedantic language, this phenomenon is termed true-untruth, a mixture of truth and untruth also called by a special word . These pictures, which are coming and going, depend on the screen for their appearance. The screen neither comes nor goes. The pictures are not stationary.
