लौकिकन्यायः
English
Cf कूपकूर्मन्यायः यावत्स्वस्यमिदं शरीरमरुतं यावज्जरा दूरतो यावच्चेन्द्रियशक्तिरप्रतिहताः यावत्क्षयो नायुषः। आभिश्रेयसि तावदेव विदुषा कार्यः प्रयत्नो मशन् सन्दीप्ते भवने तु कूपखननं प्रत्युद्यमः कीदृशः॥ --भर्तृहरि, नीतिशतक 138
When a person digs a well, some water and mud bound to fall on his body, spoiling his clothes and body. But after some time of digging, fresh water starts flowing from the well. He cleans his clothes and body with the same clean, fresh water. Similarly, the faults engendered by the dualistic attitude, are cleared off by developing Advaita or monistic spirit.
