Pluralistic Tradition Neutrality (सम्प्रदाय-तटस्थता):
Classical commentaries represent distinct philosophical darshanas (Advaita, Vishishtadvaita, Dvaita). Dharma Granth presents multiple traditional viewpoints without declaring any single tradition as universal or exclusive.

कुल का क्षय होने पर सदा से चलते आये कुलधर्म नष्ट हो जाते हैं और धर्म का नाश होनेपर (बचे हुए) सम्पूर्ण कुल को अधर्म दबा लेता है। आदत और परिणाम एक चक्र बनाते हैं: जो बार-बार किया जाता है, वह अगली प्रवृत्ति को मजबूत करता है। यह पंक्ति कर्म को उसी चक्र के रूप में देखती है, भाग्य के आकस्मिक प्रहार के रूप में नहीं।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
