New forms and names are assigned to distinct patterns of the same forces and things which demonstrate distinct characteristics. Over millennia, has been proclaiming and propagating this holistic spiritual truth, and the consequential outlook of renunciation and serenity. "Through renunciation alone, can you attain immortality", declare the ! This truth must be implanted in the mind by discriminating reason. That is why says, "I am discrimination in the human being."
