Our experience of the world present a profound paradox which we can ignore existentially , but not philosophically . This paradox is the paradox of change . Something – A changes and therefore it cannot be permanent . On the other hand , if A is not permanent , then what change ? In this debate between the " permanence " and " change " , Hinduism seem more inclined to grasp the first horn of the dilemma and Buddhism the second . It is Jainism that have the philosophical courage to grasp both horns fearlessly and simultaneously , and the philosophical skill not to be gored by either .
