I think it could be quite beneficial also to learn in nutshell the fundamental principles of some other religions prevalent in India since a very long time back like Buddhism and Jainism Jains contrast all attempts to proclaim absolute truth with adhgajanyāyah, which can be illustrated through the parable of the blind men and an elephant. In this story, each blind man felt a different part of an elephant (trunk, leg, ear, etc.). All the men claimed to understand and explain the true appearance of the elephant, but could only partly succeed, due to their limited perspectives.[3] This principle is more formally stated by observing that objects are infinite in their qualities and modes of existence, so they cannot be completely grasped in all aspects and manifestations by finite human perception. According to the Jains, only the Kevalis—omniscient beings—can comprehend objects in all aspects and manifestations; others are only capable of partial knowledge.[4] Consequently, no single, specific, human view can claim to represent absolute truth Wikipedia
