0. Why

Precursor to Nay

Context

To understand any concept, we need to be equipped with the right tools to analyse things from multi angle approach. If we stick to one pov, we might miss out on the whole picture.
I knew the need to study Nay but even after studying it superficially, I could only understand the concepts, but not apply it. I could feel there is more to it. Jayesh Bhai also stressed on its importance in his global pakshik gyanshala video
So when Mukesh Chhallani ji called me to tell about Jagdish Singh Ji Parman and how he is teaching this topic in class. And when Jagdish Singh Ji Parman called me to talk about it, I got motivated to study this.

On 30-08-2026 - I am starting this with a lil skepticism on it's true applicability and returns on effort invested on this. I (hopefully mistakenly) fear that this topic is just a packaging layer proposed and held high by academicians to glorify the complexity of things. I do see some value to the crispness, accuracy and wholeness of truth that it would enable us with, but I feel a lot of gross concepts can be tackled without this tool. And maybe just maybe, this tool can prove to be counterproductive if applied in every simple place as well.
But I am willing to learn it rather than doubt it from a distance.
