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.
