Plain text

The ancient theory of momentariness claims reality is just a series of instant, disconnected flashes. If nothing actually lasts, concepts like memory and cause and effect become completely impossible. To prove objects are permanent, an 11th century philosopher compared a dry seed in a jar to an identical seed planted in wet soil. Since the jar seed doesn't sprout, this theory argues it completely lacks the power to grow, meaning the soil seed that does sprout must be a newly generated entirely different object. But Niaya philosophy destroys this trap by separating a seed's inherent capability from its immediate output. That dormant seed always has the power to grow, but it requires external triggers, like water and heat to combine with that permanent potential. A delay in action doesn't mean the object is a series of powerless momentary illusions. So that dormant seed sitting quietly in the the dry storage jar is not just a powerless momentary flash. It is a permanent, capable object existing continuously, simply waiting for its perfect moment to grow.
