the earth. This is not possible without the moon's own light.
If it is giving light borrowed from the Sun, then the rule is
such that- If light falls on a small area, then its reflection
also falls on a small area where as larger the area, reflection
also falls on a larger area. For example, if a bulb high on
the ceiling is covered completely and left open only on the
lower part, it still lightens the entire hall. But if a mirror
is covered with only a little corner left open and light is
thrown on it from a battery, then the light that reflects from
the uncovered part covers only a limited area. But if the
light is thrown on the entire mirror then it reflects on a
larger area. Here, whether it is the full moon day or the
moon of the fourth or fifth day of the bright half of the
month, there is absolutely no difference in the area covered
by moonlight on the earth. This proves that the moon has
it’s own light and not light reflected from the Sun.
6 ) The vital point of this discussion is that instead of getting
carried away by today's pointless talks and discussion,
the path of salvation preached precisely by the Sarvagya*
Arihanta Lords is worth consideration. They have perfectly
described the difference between the right and wrong.
How minutely they have thrown light on the life-
sciences and described the Ekindriya, Beindriya, etc.
living organisms! How effectively they have shown the
Karma Theory! Professor Einstein showed the Theory of
Relativity just a few years back while Sarvagya’s preaching
have showed the amazing Syadvad – Anekantavada
and Sapekshavada ages back. The Sarvagya who has
demonstrated such principles and elements accurately will
definitely not be wrong in describing the form of earth,
moon or sun.
