The law of action and the method of interpretation (Part - 1)

Different words express different ideas, and their meaning can be understood in the light of their context. The meaning of certain words has been specially defined; while in the case of others it can be obtained by dividing them into parts. But no fixed rule can be laid down. Certain conditions must, however, be satisfied. In certain other cases we can do as we like.

Words and their meaning: Different words express different ideas of action, because we have to do different things; but if we repeat the same word without a different cause, it would be useless. But for instance, we should be able to get the meaning from the context. If there is a reference to the full moon, the subject matter should indicate it even though there is no mention of its form. However, if words convey different meanings in different context, we cannot use them in the same sense everywhere.
