Imagine an ice-cube in a glass of water. What will happen if the water principle leaves the ice cube?
The question seems logically implausible because the water principle cannot leave ice cube. If ice melts, water merely changes from one form (ice) to another (water in the glass).
1. Now, if we decide to call that unchanging principle behind the chair as ‘existence’.
2. ‘Existence is permanent’. Chair can stay or leave, but existence cannot ‘leave’ the chair (by definition).
3. If you take out chair from existence, what remains is existence.
4. Even if every’thing’ leaves existence, existence alone remains. Poornasya poornamaadaya, poornameya avashishayte.
